You never know what's going on in someone's mind. Powerful way of underlining that truth....\

happiness is emotionally subjective and so is the way people react to their perception of it ... very well written ...

Wow powerful poem Linda. Yes our outer selves can portray a very different picture to the inner turmoil. I pray anyone reading this who is feeling suicidal may be able to open up to someone even just one person they can trust and know that they are precious, all of them not just whats on the outside but the dark stuff inside too. God sees it all but his love is beyond words. Thank you for writing such a moving and thought provoking poem Linda. God bless. Baz

Yes perfection can be a killer. Great capture of suicides that take us by surprise.

This is so sad but you have well stated what life is like. We see the book's cover. Not always do we read it, nor understand it when we do...

This is the kind this is the kind of poetry I admire. There are often deep seated problems in superficial lives.

Suicide is perhaps one of the most personal acts a person can perform. The acts or warnings leading up to them are often in plain sight and yet most people fail to recognize them, especially if it is someone we love or care about. It has no boundaries...rich or poor, male or female, young or old, beautiful or ugly...
