Behind a smile, a heart conceals,
A brave facade, a fortress sealed.
She works for strength to face each new day,
But beneath her exterior, fear holds its sway.
A never-ending battle between mind and soul,
Keeping her head above water, reaching her goal.
Concealing her pain, a mask to wear,
Is a heavy load and a task beyond compare.
Though seeming hard as steel, a shining light,
She struggles within through dark endless night.
A tender spirit falters, seeking rest,
And the path to sweet release is long and blessed.
Life has not been easy of late, and I do see at night, most especially, you mask to conceal the hurt. I want you to know that no matter what goes on, I will always be here for you. And even
when you cry-yes, when you think I don't hear you-I do. Please, don't feel that lonely. Let's talk about what's bothering you. I am ready to listen and support you.
