Sometimes life is very difficult and we need to reach beyond ourselves for comfort. I wrote this poem years ago when I was going through a stressful time. I dedicate this poem for a new friend who is facing such trials...
They don't see me But I am here Can you see me? Do you see the pain The hurt The tears? My heart is broken and begging... Please Love me I'm still here Do you see me? Doesn't anyone see the shadow that I have become? Behind the smile and laughter Is the real me Crying Lonely Strong.... That's what I am supposed to be That's what everyone sees A sweet woman So strong So put together If they only knew the Truth I am so scared Weak Vulnerable But I am still here Calling... Calling out... God Do You see me? I am still here....

Yes, I think it is the ones who seem to have it together that are just waiting for a time to crash (she speaks from experience, lol). I like how you showed the real inner core of vulnerability. Good work.

Strong writing stems from intense emotions, I think. It's what I see here.

Yes...you captured a pain most of us, myself included, have felt at times in our life, and to know that there is just that one person out there who it matters to, is what it takes to survive and go on.

I felt a sense of needing to be comforted.
Not showing it outwardly
But inwardly
Well written

...when no other perhaps...hears ones helpless cry...but God...the sun listens...and recognizes a shadow to reward with warmth.
pen of goodness is well done Star Girl...
