Father's Day Melancholy

Don’t be fooled. Oh no don’t be fooled by my smile. It’s a hint, yes it’s a hint that I cry. And the days I don’t cry are the brightest days of my life so I smile. I smile to thank God I still can.


Don’t be fooled. Oh no don’t be fooled by my laugh. It’s a hint, yes it’s a hint that I scream. And I hurt. I’ve been bleeding for a while. I had a cut, the deepest cut of my life.


Don’t be fooled. Oh no don’t be fooled by my joy. It’s a hint, yes it’s a hint that I’m sad. And I’m mad. Mad for not saying what I should have and it’s too late. He’s gone and won’t be back.


Don’t be fooled, Oh no don’t be fooled by my candidness. It’s a hint, yes it’s a hint that I lie to myself. And I try. I try hard to stay happy but I can’t. I can’t cuz it’s harder, yet easier, than ever seeing him again.


Don’t be fooled, Oh no don’t be fooled by my innocence. It’s a hint, yes it’s a hint that I’m older in my head. I am tougher; yes I am tougher to myself. I’ve been through stuff. Stuff you wouldn’t understand.


Don’t be fooled, Oh no don’t be fooled by my courage. It’s a hint, yes it’s a hint that my heart’s weak because it’s been cut. Its other half’s been missing. And for 6 years, for 6 years I’ve been bleeding.


Don’t be fooled. Oh no don’t be fooled by my words. They are harsh. But they are coming from the heart. I’m OK, even though life knocked me out. I’ll get up, for the seven hundred and first time.


Don’t. Be. Fooled.
I am happy(ish).
