Toughest Spot To Be
For Those Who Smile and Pretend
Can anyone guess just where
Is the toughest spot to be?
If you think about that place
It's the toughest you'd agree!
***
Where the smallest of obstacles
Are the highest mountains to climb,
Then you get hit with a whammy
And your really in a bind.
***
Doesn't matter what road you follow
There's constant detours all the way,
Any achievements you manage feel hollow
And you wonder if you'll ever feel okay.
***
Your dreams are now so minimal
As a break would be all you ask,
And forget the idea of setting goals
Just concentrate on your tasks.
***
You fill each moment of every day
Learning techniques to make you strong,
Striving for perfection
Because you can't afford to go wrong.
***
Well that toughest spot to be
Is totally alone,
No support, help or comfort
Is to be known.
***
So for you out there that are blessed
With close family and friends,
Please look around you and hold out your hand
For those who smile and pretend.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
