Inner Minds, What We Hide

We've all got skeletons in our closets
We all wear a mask to hide our true selves
We all carry our regrets 
We can all hear the cries of the wolves

There are things that will always be hidden
Things that you could never trust with anyone
Sometimes our own mind is a prison
And all we want to do is say 

Please, someone help me?
Someone see past my façade
Please someone hear and see my plea
I grow tired of secretly singing my ballad

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Dani,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@"
