So I Hide

by Jerry Scott   Dec 4, 2005


I hide behind a smile
a lighthearted grin
while my insides turn
end over end.

I tire from acting
as if all is ok
put on this show
to keep you in my day.

I miss you when with you
if that makes sense at all
knowing I'll be without you
come night fall.

I bury my feelings
with untrue alibis
hang up the phone
hold a pillow and cry.

It doesn't seem masculine
feeling this inside
but I need you in my life
and so I hide.

    Its so sweet, and dont think that you are not maculane when you cry, everybody has feelings and expresses them differently and everyone crys! Great work though and keep it up!

    I like this poem...your feelings were portrayed subtley, yet powerfully. I enjoyed the part "I miss you when with you"....that makes perfect sense to me. Good job.
