Breana Wiggins Poet I do not know?

Hiding Behind a Smile

Behind my smile 
I'm so hurt, so angry
Can't really tell 
I hide it well
But when the
Spot light stop shining and the
Doors start closing
Pain rushes back to me
A feeling I don't like
I hide behind my smile well

Curtains back up
Spot light shining
Place my smile back on
Now I'm hiding
So I pretend to be a 
person I'm not
Hiding from reality 
Hiding from all the hurt and the pain 
Hiding
But once again the curtains close and
All those feelings
Come rushing back 

But now I have
To take center stage
So now I begin my final act
All smiles one the outside
But deep down inside I'm crying
No one can tell
I'm a great performer
Once again I hide behind my smile

Curtains down for awhile now
Smiles replaced with a frown
So ends my final act
But just for a little while
'Cuz I know my
Audience will be back
And when that happens 
I will begin my act
“Hiding Behind A Smile”

Robin L. Gass December 10, 2008 at 3:08 PM This is so sad. It is good that you are writing about your feelings. I know it helps me. I hope that there is someone in your life that you can trust, who will listen. If you believe in God you should pray to find help. I will pray for you. I read a few of your poems and you should keep writing. Your writing is good. You express yourself well. I understand what it feels like to feel some of the things you write about. Please don't hurt yourself. Write abut it if you feel that way. Love Robin
