Despair a place of solace, disillusion a state of being,
when emptiness routes the soul forbidding any dreams.
You try to smile your placid smile with untold torment tearing you apart inside.  Was it seen?  Could they know?  Have they discovered the secret you try to hide?

Ignorance is bliss and in ignorance those around us live their lives blissfully, but pain is bitter sweet and consumes us frivolously.

And someday it will all end.

Amen
