Why Not? Virginia Salter Who is this living on the outside, living on the outside, looking in Who is this hiding all that’s inside, letting the world see only her skin A smile a kind word a simple, “Hello, how are you?” When deep within there’s miles of sin and sadness, gloom and despair; but what does she care Why not be shallow why not be vain why not stand singing out in the rain why not cry teardrops releasing the pain why not, why not, why not? © May 14, 2000 not autobiographical, as I recall, yet it certainly could be everyone's verse |

Virginia, Sometimes it can take decades for pain to surface. It only does when we're prepared to deal with it This touched a chord of my own sorrow WEll done Liz |

Thank you all for reading and responding. Your words seem so candid and heartfelt. I think this poem could touch everyone right where they live at least once if not several times. If it were not so, He would not have had to come. |

It's hard to show our insides to someone, and if we are disappointed it's almost devastating. Kathleen Blake |
