The Raven Himself

You know me by now.  Am I light-hearted, ever?
I'm not.  I'm dark as gathering clouds.  If you met
Me in person, I'd smile.  I'd make jokes.  Under no
Circumstances would I burden you with my cares
Or my ailments, as you have your own, but, when
I face this keyboard alone, and I'm honest, I'm grim,
As you already know.
