Behind my smile you cannot see the tears between the lines you cannot read my fears in funny rhymes you cannot feel my pain in haughty words you cannot taste the shame in what I post you cannot feel the beat in pics I share you cannot feel the heat in what I say you cannot hear my cries in what I gift you cannot see but lies You cannot see what lies within my heart You think you know but you see just a part There's more to me than simple scribbled lines There’s heart and soul, A life beyond confines Eileen Manassian One of my deleted poems....There was a time I was contemplating leaving the Soup because of some hurtful events, and so I deleted some of my poems after I had saved them. My poems on this site are the truest copies because sometimes I edit while post. Unfortunately, hurtful things continue to happen, but I've been gifted a Lifetime membership by my dear friend Flo, and I'm not leaving. I'm slowly reposting some of those deleted writes. :) Thank you for reading...

Yes, I feel you on this poem!! I love how fearless you are to express powerful emotions; it intrigues me, and helps me look further beyond my own perspective. Always, Laura

Thank you, dear Laura. You always have kind words to share with me. That is a special gift you have. Cherish it and don't let the world make you lose that sensitivity. Hugs

One of the things that makes your beauty so rare is that the more One knows of you, the more One needs of you Beloved Poetess...every nibble of knowledge, with every breath upon the heart more is needed, more is sought in your seductive wilderness...Justin

I can't tell you how good it feels to have a visit from you Justin. :) Your posts are always so sweet and full of kindness. This is a classic example. You are an amazing writer...and you have been in my favorite poet file for quiet some time, dear. Thank you for passing by this work. You know I hold your writing dear.

Only a lucky few really know what is inside of us. We keep our fears well hidden so as not to be hurt by mean people. Sad but they are missing the true beauty of the souls we have inside. Never let anyone make you feel less than the wonderful person you are If they hurt you tell me and I will protect you my dear. Much love and hugs Edith

Maybe we cannot see everything that's going on inside, Eileen, but your poems emit mixed feelings of pain, passion, love, joy.... You write, we read....Hugs // paul

Isn't that what poetry is all about, Paul? Thank you for visiting, my dear. Hope all is well.

Personally I believe your writing reveals much about you which is exactly why I feel so close to you. You are many things and have many layers. To some you are complicated to those who know you you are an open book, they merely need to turn the pages and all will be revealed.

Thanks, Rick. Any chance you can get those people to see what you see? I'm getting tired of the backlash.
