Such a clever Monoku - I love it Alexis - many people have their happy face and then when alone go back to their miserable, arrogant selves, so angry with life, they could even commit suicide. Well penned my dear friend.. Blessings and hus, Jennifer.

Many around us have a storm raging within that we don't know about until we get to know them. Wise words, Alexis. Congrats on your win ~ John

You're so right. A troubled person cannot fool others with a mask--not for long anyway. CONGRATS, Alexis! Janice

Yes. I've felt this way. Bless you always dear lady... with a prayer that your storms don't rage too harshly

Well said, Alexis! "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" is one tempest storm we can all envisage!

Try as much as we can, some deep, emotional feelings can be very hard to hide, Alexis! Your one-liner is very expressive. Regards // paul
