Don't talk about the bad times,
Hide away the pain..
Heaven forbid you ever find
Somebody that might feel the same
Keep a smile on your face
And laughter echoing loud
Don't show your heart is breaking

Don't fall apart right now
Keep up your strength for others
And don't show the way you feel
Because life is only so long
Keep helping others heal
Time will come along some day
For you to sit and cry
But for now you must move
And live another lie.



 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Irish Blessing

Sad.  Sometimes you just can't (and shouldn't be) strong for everyone else.  Sometimes you have to do for yourself.  Another good poem.

Another moving and slighly disturbing poem Angel. Perhaps it's your turn to let it out to someone else?

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

Irish proverb.

Great poem, BWA! It's not healthy to wear a mask for too long. Although it is admirable to be concerned for others around you it has to be a two way street. Open up to them and give them the opportunity to comfort you as well!
