Cruelly Denied

I am tired of pretending Sick of acting like it doesn’t hurt Because it’s just a big lie I smile to the world like nothing is wrong While alone I hide the tears that I cry People offer advice That is easier said than done They tell me keep your chin up But on my mind…I have several tons So what do I do to move on? I need to grieve what will never ever be How do I say goodbye To a beautiful part of life That I am so cruelly denied
