Fool No More

Should I pretend
for pretence sake?

For the secrecy
behind closed and cold doors,
seems to be killing me more.

Silence, is torture,
unforgiving, cruel,
to long now, to long,
your isolated fool.

"Good Afternoon Precious & Blessed Ann Anderson!"~I hope you are doing well today dear lady!:) I have noticed you here a lot as of late~one constant I have seen, is your "Faith" I believe!~And personally, I can find no greater gift, then this!!! And as far as being isolated? Even Christ, knew He would 'Never' be alone~For His Father was 'Always' with Him~Hench, legions of Angels & all of Heavens throne also!!~"Have A Very Blessed & Beautiful Day Dear Lady, Love Always, John!"~Bye:)

This is such a sad poem, having to pretend is a terrible way to spend one's life. :( Carrie
