Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Feelings

Depth of emotions are hidden
Beneath the eyes that shine
No one knows the path ridden
Everyone thinks your fine.

Your smile is plastered on your face
The pain hidden in despair
You wipe away every trace
Like you didn't have a care.

You hide your face within
Smile when the need arises
When your patience is thin
You hide your feelings in disguise.

Andrea Dietrich April 29, 2012 at 6:56 PM yes, sometimes we have to hide things we are feeling so strongly inside, PHyllis. I can really feel that with this poem. Yours is one of the few I can even see tonight. I barely got one posted and I can't stay here any longer.l Thanks for all your lovely comments. Luv, Andrea

Broken Butterfly April 29, 2012 at 12:27 PM Phylllis you just described most people, we have all learned to hide the pain with a smile, well done and a beautiful poem, I want to thank you for reading my poem Bella, Bella, Bella, it meant alot to me to get your feedback. I think there is a novelist in me struggling to get out!!
