People ask how I'm doing
Just to be kind
Not wanting the truth
So, I tell them I'm fine.
i don't tell them I'm hurting
Nor speak of the pain
I don't mention the tears
Which pour down like rain.
We don't speak of sadness
Or how my mind screams
So loud in my head
Forever it seems.
We just smile
And go on our way
A sigh of relief
For the things I don't say.

This speaks volumes to me, i do exactly the same. Sadly people ask out of habit not that they really care, and you know if you told them exactly how you feel, they would never ask again. Hope things get better, take Care
Thank you for reading me. I wrote this about the death of my son and everyone it seems to be afraid to ask me how I am doing afraid I'd tell them....
If you feel you need to talk to some one about, just grab a friend and be honest with them, say i need to talk, wishing you all the best
Thank you
Beautiful, the things we don't say but we should. 🌹
Thank you
Hidden emotions wreck the heart
still smiling all the way
