The mask serenity was placed
and tightened with resolve,
to hide the truth of grief and fear;
all doubt to be dissolved.
It settled into place so neat,
that none could ever see,
the hell which roiled internally;
the pain of being me.
How easily they did believe,
how quickly were they fooled,
and so was I in mirrored shock;
the image long would hold.

I always find myself surprised when someone doesn't see whatever I may be trying to hide. It's a strange feeling, to want to be both noticed and ignored.
ReplyDeleteSome people don't want to know. Some people just don't pick up.
DeleteYes, I think we've all been there a time or two. Trying to disguise yourself and then being irritated or at least surprised when you're not discovered. We always think more about our outward appearances than others do, I suppose. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteFor better or worse, I'm a terrible liar. But trying to hide feeling hurt and the not having the hurter realize - I do get that.
