You can hide from
the rest of the world
BUT
You can't hide from yourself
Deal with it
I have become
A master at hiding
Smiling just enough
Yet, looking closely
The eyes never lie
The pain; hurt, sadness
All there to see
When the world is
Upside down
I graciously help others
My undevided attention
Intently listening to
Their problems
So, I don't have to
Share my feelings
Have you ever noticed
When somebody asks you
"How are you "
they really don't want
To know the TRUTH
Hiding in plain sight
We have become
a society of disconnect
Interactive on-Line
without physical contact

I am a lonely person I've become very good at putting up the walls
