Storm

My life has never been the same.
I look at the sun, but I only see rain.
In the calm waters, I sense a storm.
My heart it beats, but inside it's torn.
But I carry on with the masquerade.
Appearing happy, a role I've played.
As I've learnt to hide my tears so well.
I'm a lonely man, but you couldn't tell.
I feel the wind, when days are still.
I'll miss you today, and I always will.

Mike, beautifully and thoughtfully written dealing with the masquerade of life which so many of us subscribe to. The last line is very telling indeed. Thank you for this. Keith

I think that line
'I've learnt to hide my tears so well'
is so very poignant and true for so many people.
Nice one Mike
