Solitude

Editor's choice
Face of happiness I reveal to you
Unaware of my pain you smile
Memories too hidden from sight
As you look into my guarded eyes

No one will ever know my story
For they see me as someone I'm not
Not their preference but mine
I'll never let them inside

Old thoughts lingering in my head
Life carries on with no hint of the past
No need to share who I really am
Behind the clothes neatly pressed

Nothing askew or so it appears
I wave joyfully as you stroll by
Keeping my secret safely within
It's another lonely day in disguise

Very good
As I have said before on other poems, good poetry makes the reader really think-- this poem does just that.
Great!

Poignant, painful to the feelings, unbridledspirit. Sorrowful expression of a secret past (?) . . . buried in the lonely thoughts of a blithesome mask.  Would it come out to free the wretchedness?

Thank you Audrey and Grandpa for your review.  Grandpa this is not about my past if that is why you have thequestion mark there (I wasn't sure).  I see alot of clients who live with a public persona that hiding a deeper sadness and loneliness.  I just felt compelled to write about it.  Thanks again both of you.  I appreciate your feedback.

Oops...I should have said Grampa not Grandpa.  Sorry for the error.

Yes, unbridledspirit, I thought it was personal, hence, the (?) in brackets, but now I know :-).  Grandpa or Grampa, well, they're both the same :-)

Yes, like Audrey said it gets the reader thinking.
Your poems really grab onto the readers attention and holds onto it.
You have alot of different perspectives, which I really like. It's good to be able to do that so well.
As I've said several times, Excellent Work!
