The Surface

The words the man had to live with,
He knew had to hold themselves silent in his heart.
They dug themselves deep into his soul,
As not to come out before their verses part.

He spoke loosely,
As to show those he loved he did not judge.
But as they comforted him on his death bed,
His last thought was they thought him dumb.

a Pinky?...not sure about that but the poem seems to be about things not always being what they seem to be...correct?

Yes, it's about an intillect that acts as a goof to get close to those he loved.
But in the end they only saw the character he portrayed for them.
They thought him dumb.

oh yes i so saw through your words how underneath he was neither dumb, but kept close to him who he really was,, but also the beautiful need within him to have those close to him, regardless off their taunts.
Very powerful and sad.
Beautiful x
