Smiley Face :)

Oh Smiley Face,
You are a quandary;
A concept that is impossible to fully understand.
You have a deep meaning regardless of who uses you,
But that meaning is never clear, never consistent.
Are you a happy feeling?
A impatient myriad of buttons?
Perhaps a simple, “not knowing what to say”.
Are you disdain?
Are you love?
Do you perhaps flirt with those who grace your cheer?
Smiley Face, what are you?
You mean so much,
In so many ways,
That to me,
You mean nothing but anxiety.
 Smiley Face,
You are a prickle on my skin.

-mine again, in reference to smiley faces that tend to show up in text messages

  1. punctuation is also very misleading in text messages. example: the period.

    okay = a simple response, i got the message
    okay. = perhaps a not-so-simple response, i am frustrated, i am being stern, i am being curt
    okay... = the most perplexing of all! i am confused, i am tired, i am angry, i am annoyed
