Fake Laughs Poem by Kelvin Owusu
Fake Laughs
I've done a lot of good
helped out when I could
treated all individuals as equals
well I try,
still doesn't outweigh the bad
the hearts I've broken
the tears I've caused
the words I never spoke of, yet hoping
one would read my thoughts
to search as I'm lost
My sins haunt
only a shadow of mine
walks aside a grey line
beyond forgiveness
incarcerated beside fake relations
causing all that is and was
real to deplete, replaced
by all that is fake
Smiles, laughs, hugs
even the heart
I'm beyond forgiveness
so I don't ask for it
my only wish
is that my death isn't like my life
alone
Very honest, and very humble heart of a poet. but of course, still you deserve forgiveness. The poem builds up an argument which actually succeeds. Thanks for sharing.

You seem so hard on yourself in this poem. Look forward with that warm heart I hear beating, beating through your beautiful poems!
