This is exactly how I feel 24/7 Mood
Monday, November 10, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

The mask I wear

You see this smiling happy face
But look closely at my eyes
You'll see they are still dead inside
It shouldn’t be a surprise

Yes I smile , I laugh, I joke
Sometimes join in, have some fun
Don’t you realize when I lost my child
A new existence has begun

I wander round the town with you
We sit, eat lunch, drink tea
Please look past this false smile I give
Look for the real me

I may look as if the old me's back
But don’t you realize it's an act?
I have to pretend that I'm ok
Me and my conscience made a pact

When I'm all alone at home
I sit and stare into space
I think constantly about my child
Just remembering her face

I've never felt so all alone
Even when lost in a crowd
I want to scream and shout and rave
Shout 'please notice me' out loud

So please don’t be fooled by the person you see
Look beyond the act I give
Speak to me about my child
Please help me again to live
