Compliments


People praise my positivity, 

but they can't see my dreams. 

I've dreamt the far off corners 

of darkness where monsters lurk 

and evil reigns over my kingdom. 

I put on a convincing face 

that is just a mask for my terror. 

I cannot believe your kindness.

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Davenport, and I'm a college student who loves all things language, no matter what language it is! I'm probably reading, writing, or dancing in the rain right now. I'm a featured poet, Aura, on diesandnoctis.com (go check them out: they're great!), and use the names E.D., Elie Dav, and Elizabeth Davenport when posting my own.
