People are
Taught to
Express
Themselves
Discreetly
Misleadingly
A twitch
Of annoyance
The out put
Of fear
A smile
That fails
To reach
The eyes
An expression
Of betrayal
Taught to
Never let
People see
You cry
Alone
Taught that
Betrayalcan
Be fixed with
Oaths and
Punishment
Taught that
Emotions
Have no place
Amount the
Strong
Believing
That loving
Is weakness
And trusting
Is death
