Solitary

You're always quick to smile
though inside not so glib
it took you quite a while
to perfect the perfect fib
so you can feign with style

you view the world with scorn
that few will ever see
rejecting kinship borne
while nodding pleasantly
for fewer deaths to mourn

is less to care about
allowing you your room
without the need to pout
exacerbating gloom
you tow but never tout.
