------------------------------------------------

She cries tears
That nobody sees
And she feels a pain
That everyone “understands”
She is expected to
‘Work’ through it
While pretending daily
That all is fine

So she puts on
The old mask
And pretends she never told
And falls when
She gets home
As soon as she feels safe
She fails to have strength enough
To stand

This hits the nail on the head of my least favorite topic of all time!
Why do we all stand by and let eachother hurt so? Because no one ever lets on to how much they're hurting!
Why don't we reveal our pain? Oh thats right...BECAUSE WE'RE AFRAID OF BEING HURT MORE!!!
We all hurt each other! Everyone plays by the kids unwritten book of rules and we cause more pain than we know!
Why don't we help eachother instead of wallowing in our own pain or rejoicing in our good fortune? Why can't we do that so that people wouldn't have to be afraid to unveil their feelings?
(mutters incoherently)
oh I liked your poem by the way.

"Be Strong and Always Remember what made you you." Earl

"Ooo!!! Ooo!! I know! I know! um...he he" Earl
(Yes I am crazy)

Earl Earl Earl..., how I love your comments!  They always pick me up cause they're so funny most of the time.  Just how you put things.  But back to the poem...  Great poem.  I can relate so much to it.  Just the idea of putting on a mask.  Hope to hear more.

I completely agree Earl, if we would show our emotions and be more open with others we would not be in so much pain... and yet we decide not to.  

Thanks for the comments guys!
