Masks
Going along pretending all is fine, smiling, greeting and waving goodbye.
Conversations held like all’s aright.
Saying I love you, whilst numb inside.
Can anyone see the hidden truth that pain deep down, it’s like an aching tooth.
Going to the dentist to get an extraction, wouldn’t take away this pain, no it’s not even a distraction.
So who can help give me peace of mind? When I’ve looked all over and tried to confide, in things temporary, materialistic, even friends by my side. With all their help which is so very kind, only Jesus can hug me from the inside.
