The abhorrent jubilation outside Juxtaposed the manic emptiness inside-- Like a tin can that contained zilch. Still, he guffawed, abrasively-- Inveigling everyone to believe The nefarious facade he wore. For, most people saw the mask And took it to define his total worth. Yet, that was thoroughly anticipated-- He wished for them To envisage him that way; Because, for him, It was always better to expect pain; Rather than hope for acceptance-- And, heaven forbid, selfless love. For, in this world where nil is free, Even affection is exorbitantly priced-- And, aye! He won't be able to afford it; Thus, he barricades himself with spite.
