My Heart Lies To My Soul

Although I’m fair, just, in truth, my heart lies to my soul. It hides its needs due self, for others In vain it cries, save yourself ! For you, they shall never discover. I quiet my thinking, content I be… when a small child they place upon my knee. My face it smiles, I’ve no control, yet, my heart bleeds, but they don’t know. What lies ahead for this wee soul? I shudder. Was one thought given to the many? I think not! No, not any. A selfish notion set into motion, another now is born. Trudging through life in search of itself… battling for better only to discover, what I now know and shudder. To do our part would be a start... My heart lies to my soul
