Not Alone

Not Alone Edward Clay Created October 2016 What sadness does a veil of laughter hide? What sorrow does gleeful merriment cover? Behind the smile, Someone’s aloneness and sadness might be disguised. It is fear does this. Fear someone will see. How alone one is. Will find how sad behind the smile is. I speak from experience. I speak from time spent alone and sad. Spent feeling was not grown enough of soul to be able to love. I did finally take off my mask. The covering smile over dark sadness. I say to you it is never too late it is ever possible to find. Love, Contentment, Togetherness. The knowledge you are not alone.
