Empty

[Joshiesxmama]

 Outside I wear a happy smile

 a false smile

for none to know

Inside, a straight jacket

a mad clown

full of woe

Outside I smile

sing and laugh

all a game i play

Inside full of sorrow

crying, cutting

always the same way

outside i hide my scars

let them heal

conceal them nicely

inside i keep cutting

open old wounds

always slicing

a piece of my mask breaks

someone sees a tear

the pretty mask is breaking

i see all my fears

so the old wounds show

everyone sees

the imperfect freak

the inside consumes the outside

and inside all thats left is an echoing emptiness

Honey, i don't know what is causing your grief, but if it has anything to do with losing a pet, visit us in Sophie's Sweeties. It's a new group I started to help me and other moms who love their furbabies--present, as well as the ones waiting on the other side.

I sure hope you feel better, and find the help you need.  i am saying a prayer for you right now.

And, you write beautifully.  I hope you are keeping all your work!

Love, Wanda
