(This is a repost.)

The bleakest day, with clouds of gray,
In me I feel a chill.
The winter sky it seems to cry
No sun doth shine, nor will.

Hate's seed is sown, I am alone
I scream and reach for you
You are not there, for they don't care
There anger is so true.

I want to fight, though it's not right,
I only try to hide
No feelings showw-they must not know
I'll keep it all inside.

10-99


Just see how virtue repays you, you turn and someone betrays you
Betray him first, and the game's reversed...
-from The Scarlet Pimpernel

A poet can never hide their feelings, especally a poet that writes as beautifully as you! Thanks for sharing!

awww, does this mean I've been discovered already?  

Thanks all....but I've learned that sometimes it's for the best to try to mask the feelings...especially when you aren't supposed to have them in the first place.

Elizabeth, isn't it frustrating...we cannot even hide in this, our sanctuary...anguished words they might be, still you write beautiful poetry...

Well written, Elizabeth! Yep, I agree, sometimes we just have to hide some of our feelings.
