Hidden

The day is sunny and warm
The kind of day when life seems easy
Everything is uniform

A smile touches her lips
It appears genuine
However, inside is a true eclipse

Outside appears radiant and bright
Mirroring the day’s beauty
While inside the darkness holds tight

Hiding the true sadness of the soul
The loneliness and confusion are still
Keeping this life from being whole

The beauty hides the storm
Protecting the wearer
From an emotional swarm

Such a sad and lonely piece. Though written very nicely. Well done.

Thank you Chris ... I tend to connect with the lonely side of my emotions.
