She asked
"Are you well, my daughter"
and I answered,
"Yes, Mom everything's fine"
She continue
questioning me,
she said I looked sick.
I left the room,
and looked in a mirrow
I looked happy
so I thought
My reflection
didn't show the
uncertainty of your love
Thought that I could fool the world
pretending things didn't hurt me
It was then I saw a tear
I wiped it off
and left the room
My mother knows me too well

Mothers are like that aren't they? I enjoyed thinking about this.

Very well written, I liked these lines especially.

Perhaps we see what we wish... but effects of the heart and soul are often reflected in our eyes... for others, who are atuned, to see. A lovely poem... I enjoyed it immensely.
