Metamorphosis
Conceal.
Don’t show.
Don’t let them in,
To your world of pain.
***
Conceal.
Hold still.
Never reveal,
The turmoil within.
***
Conceal.
Like your life depends on it.
The wolves will eat you
If you let your feelings defeat you.
***
Conceal.
Put on that smile.
Enjoy that pain.
As it kills you within.
***
Dead you are born
Conceal?
No more!
What’s there to hide
If you don’t feel the pain
***
No need for masks,
Your face becomes one
Nothing to feel,
Nothing to hide
Nothing to
Conceal.
***

We Are Not Lazy Because We Are On Benefits
My life has not been easy. I struggled at school with bullying and school work with very little support available to me, and that continued into adulthood, where it interfered with my mental health, and my ability to find work.

Sad, but sometimes true. We wear many masks, at some point they become our skin. Sometimes it sucks. Sometimes we lose sight of who we actually are anymore.
Very nicely done.
When there is nothing to hide, our lives but open books within which nothing is written.
Wow this was beautiful
Lovely empathic poetry
I sense that a lot of people can resonate with this - I sure did!
