Peace should be for everyone, not just the chosen few.
Peace should be for everyone, not just the chosen few.
In My Heart I Cry.
Visibly you cannot see bruises.
They can be felt on the inside.
I cannot say look can you see.
They are trapped inside of me.
I sense my heart doesn't work.
Sometimes think I'm going to die.
I listen no it's still beating okay.
Though this is where I always cry.
To the world I am a normal man.
Like the others doing what I can.
The mask I wear fits me so well.
I’m hurt but you could never tell.
So truly pointless that would be.
It is difficult to say can't you see.
Pain flows through my aged veins.
For sure, it’s me that failed again.
Trailing pieces of a broken heart.
Consumed and then torn apart.
There are no tears in my eyes.
It’s in my broken heart that I cry.

A broken heart can only be seen through its symptoms of tears, lethargy and facial features. Like a fever revealing an infection it needs attention. An excellent metaphor and nicely written.
Thank you for your feedback, very much appreciated
Well this is quite heart breaking. A mournful cry of a broken heart.Very powerful
Thank you for your feedback, very much appreciated
People most usually judge by appearances so we find it most useful to look the part on the surface level. Sad truth🕊️🙏🏻

My heart has been broken so many times, I think I have lost some the pieces. Man, this hits home again, Tobani! Great work, my friend! 🌹👏💔❤️🩹
Thank you for your kind feedback, very much appreciated
You are most welcome!
Not sure if keeping all that grief suppressed is a good thing. Why no tears? You are allowed.
Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated
We all wear masks in differing situations in our lives Tobani. May your heart be healed.

This is so true, I almost cried reading cause I relate hard, it's a different kind of pain when you don't have tears but your heart is aching, and the mask you have to wear because the moment you let it down, people are gonna keep away,, it's like being the most funniest person in the group and once you lay the smile to rest the face, they ask "Are you okay? You look sad, everything fine?" I mean, I was just resting my face, but deep down I was broken and I just couldn't smile that day because I was deep in my pain to put the mask up...
Thank you for your kind feedback, very much appreciated
