I can hear a suppressed sob
Behind every smile.
Am I a cynic? I wonder...
I can hear whispers of trepidation
Subdued by loud laughter.
Am I a cynic? I wonder...
Distant dark clouds lurk in my thoughts
Even on a beautiful, bright sunny day.
Am I a cynic? I wonder...
The sweetest of the songs to me
Are the ones that make my heart weigh heavy
Am I a cynic? I wonder...

Am I a cynic? Unfortunately, yes. Your poem just touches the surface of what the world has taught me of cynicism. A very thoughtful poem for our dark world. Darla :)
