MASK WE CALL A SMILE: Did you wake up this morning And wish this was all just a phase? Like tomorrow will be better Ever have those days? Where you just can’t seem to bring yourself To stand on your own two feet To get up and face the world When your life feels so incomplete? When I search for some hope I look up into the skies But the world is a sweeping sadness Through my depressed eyes I study people passing by They seem to look right through me No, they take a glance And ignore the unhappy Maybe my eyeliner hides my bloodshot eyes? Maybe my powder hides my tears’ trails? I take such pride in hiding And paying attention to little details Are we all contained In a mask we call a smile? We’re so used to concealing That we’ve become so versatile But still I try to assure myself That there’s still hope yet And God knows that in the future I’ll need all the help I can get But when I’m feeling down I’ll sweep my fingertip across my necklace And feel it’s engraving run through my mind When a true smile floods my face I wear my necklace everyday And use it to guide me whenever I’m pushed and shoved Because I always need a little reminder It reads “I am loved” |

I understand more than you know. You'll find many here do. It's not fun at all. This is possibly my favorite poem of your's! Headed to the Library. Sanity is NOT a matter of statistics. |

Sometimes we need those little reminders when it seems like the world is crashing down on us. You expressed the sorrow and subsequential...contentment/reassurance well. I understand. Smile On ~Jill |
