Sad

It is sad to think you are hurt
in your reflection
from their glimpse looks
views nothing but an old pal
they used to see

to say "I am in pain," but
tells "it's alright," but
you, "I don't know how."

to notice the weight upon your face
and hides the truth from their faces.

to keep it inside the chest
and choose it all be burden

to lie from the mirror I see,
it is sad. So sad.

An emotive write, Domingo. I've read all your poems and they seem to have one theme - Depth and sadness, and you write them nicely. Hoping that better days are ahead for you. Welcome to Poetry Soup, kabayan! Keep writing, keep posting, and start visiting other pages, be encouraged some more, and be an encouragement as well. Your kabayan, Kim :-)
