Pretending

Christina8

So much gets in the way of healing

When just everyday crappy feelings

Are getting in the way,

You think I've got smiling eyes

Maybe soon you'll realize

I haven't smiled truly in days.

Worried about many a thing

Should just be happy that it's Spring

But life doesn't work out that way

      Christina,
      Your write is somewhat sad. I hope by the end of this day you’re feeling better!

      IN ESSENCE CHRIS ~ I agree with you because I know that for the majority their PUBLIC life is MASQUERADE of Normality while their private lives can be dross ! I get really upset when Students (& Staff) are so "stressed & depressed" that they attempt suicide ~ an extreme often well hiudden ! I am fortunate ~ good Health ~ good Job ~ lovely Fiancee ~ Both Parents ~ Loving Family ~ Strong Christian Faith and few Responsibilities ! I have always been an optimist and never suffered from depression or anxiety ! Some of the Poems I read on MPS indicate that I am in a MINORITY ~ but I thanks GOD I don't have to wear a MASK ! I try to entertain ~ educate ~ support & encourage all members of MPS. I am aware of the UPS & DOWNS of your life and I know that ~ You will be FINE next week ~ AMEN Thanks for sharing ~ Praying for You 24/7 ~ Brother Brian !

        In our lives we have bad times but all you need to be is thankful that you are alive and WILL be able to go into better times. Follow the light.

          You can have a hundred people around you on days like that and nothing seems to help........ but they go away.........
