Sewing

She folds up the sun and puts it in her pocket
And only when suspicions show will the creases straighten
But the lies will remain in place
Stitched under the rays
A layer of hate
Towards the beings that drew tears from her arms
Yet her face will always shine with light
Few will notice the screams in her eyes

Very well delivered Winnie! Clever! The extent to which people hide their sorrows is amazing at times. There are a few things more dangerous than unexpressed hatred. Nicely penned this!
