Lies.

“I’m alright” I whispered, half crying inside
As I slowly retreated and started to hide
She advanced with a hug and wasn’t denied
As I told her “I’m alright” and I knew that I’d lied.

At least you didn't
turn away the compassion...

It's been awhile...we're going to get to start seeing a bit more of you, huh, are we?  Hope so!

Dude, painfully honest...a vivid expression of how we all feel sometimes. Great poem.

Howdy, stranger!

You sound like a man who is strong on the outside, but caring and sensitive on the inside! Sounds balanced to me!

Andy, I really loved this glimpse of your heart.
I haven't seen much of you in Open since I've
been here. I hope you will post more.
Hugs

well this could have been #1, and you only would have had to write four more, but it's all good...

I'm not sure how to respond to this, I know of more than one situation that this could be applied to, but   I hope everything works out for you, and the main thing is to not lie to yourself, okay? you know where to find me if you want some comforting words or extra hugs or anything like that.

Tantalize: Thank you for the reply.

Earth Angel: Thank you for the reply and all of your sweet comments.

Ethel: Thanks for your reply: I hope to post more of my work in here now, I have posted some of my poems here but they haven’t really been suited for the audience in here, or at least that’s what I think.

Rhonda: Thanks for your reply. It almost was #1 but I decided against it deciding to use something that I wasn’t so attached to instead. Thanks for all the support through all these days, weeks, months, years . Oh and I’ve given up lying to myself.

Passing Shadows: Thanks for your reply and thank you for your support
