Hidden Tears

Learn to cry 
with hidden tears
Be afraid 
and show no fear

Be wide awake
And pretend asleep
Scream in your head
Don't make a peep

Smile and laugh
Put on a show
Die inside
No one will know

Congratulations on your great win! Sometimes we are expected to hide are feelings in life. This is especially true for men. You have described this act very well. Happy Valentines with hugs, Rhonda
