Often when people are hurting inside, they want to hide. They don’t want others to know. That was me. It is hard to find people to trust with your pain, and when in public, we just force a smile. My hope and prayer is that you have someone in your life you can open up to who is safe. Someone to be real with. Who will love and accept you for who and where you are. But even if you don’t have that someone, you can have Jesus. He loves you with a never-ending, unconditional, ever-lasting and perfect love. He never fails and he is always ready to listen.
Can someone please
Offer me
Some kind of disguise?
So I don’t reveal
Too much
Of this pain inside
When they sense
My sadness
Please help me to grin
For they must
Not see
This pain I am in
