Sometimes people think we are ignoring them, when in fact we are simply taking care of others or just tied up in our lives...not trying to anger or hurt...simply trying to survive ourselves


Poem Artwork

Life can be a dream
Or is it a nightmare
No one knows the pain
That is there

Tears that are hidden
By smiles that are fake
Friends that turn on you
Never knowing how you feel
Trying to make you feel
Like a heel

Getting kicked in the teeth
Because they just
Do not know
You are dealing with
Issues of which
You have no control

So to say I am sorry
Seems so contrite
When I don’t know what I did
Or how to make it right
So my friend
Take me for what I am
Or not
I am only a woman
That tries her best

Such an insightful pen. No we never really know the depths of what others are living.
