I look in the mirror
And what do I see
My face looking right back at me
I shake my head and hope to see
The real person staring back at me

Behind the eyes confusion and stress
But a smile that looks so fresh
No signs of unhappiness can be seen
In the face looking back at me.

Contradictions too many to list
Are hidden within the face I see
Torment ,happiness, anger, love
Should I really show them
In the face looking back at me.

Caus really who wants to see
All these things happening to me
Not even I acknowledge the facts
And hide them so no one can see
In the face looking back at me

I need to find the inner strength
That everyone else can see inside of me
Once these things are all aligned
There be no more hiding the real me
In the face looking back at me .

I carry a heavy heart
That seldom people see
I share the brave face
Stiff upper lip
Cause no one likes a misery .

Do you carry a heavy heart
That seldom people see
Do you share the brave face
The stiff upper lip
And told no one likes a misery

I question you, caus I can see
The heavy heart same as me
We share the same face
The same stiff upper lip
As we can’t show misery…as it tells too much.

A shadow comes into view
Yet its not mine
It follows me where every I go
Yet its not mine
I look to check who stands behind
But no ones there

A feeling comes to mind
Yet the touch is not there
The feeling is warm
Yet the touch is not there
I look to see who stands so close
But no ones there

A smell comes through the air
Yet the scent is familiar
The smell makes me smile
Yet the scent is familiar
I look to see whos coming
But no ones there

A picture comes to mind
I see your face
I feel your touch
I smell your smell
Your here with me
Yet no ones there

How strong does a person have to be
To hide the tears behind a smile
Does no one realize its not a twinkle in the eye but a tear being held.
How strong do shoulders have to be
To carry a heavy load
So as to rest a burden when no one can see.
How strong and tall does a person have to stand
To stride forward with purpose and determination
So no one can see the falling inside.
How strong does a person have to be
To make to the end of the day
To see the stars light the way to a new day and the sun rising.
How strong does a person have to be
To hide the tears behind a smile………….

If I cannot write I love you
May I whisper it
If you don’t want to see the words
May I whisper it
If you don’t want to feel the words
May I whisper it
If you don’t want to feel my love
May I whisper it
If you cannot hear the whisper
I will give it to the wind to carry it….....
