This is probably one of my better and more recent poems. Short but at the same time, it's kind of straight to the point. Not like some of my other poems which can be rather draggy and maybe a bit too "deep" at times; so much so that when I read through them, I don't even know what some of them were orginally inspired by. Wahaha...I really like this one cos it kind of exemplifies who "Jacq" really is.

Facade
Sarcasm is my coat of armor with which I hide behind.
Cynicism is the thing that keeps me up and so alive.
‘Cos every night, I close my eyes and tears just start to fly.
Beyond this facade of a smiling face, a tortured soul lies.
