Just a bit of rambling, perhaps a bit of prose after my pastor decided to laugh at me when I told him I was sick. This isn't specifically directed at him since many people respond this way to my health.
Don't be fooled by the smile on my face
I love you that's why I'm here
But don't think I'm feeling well
I've lived with this long enough to disguise what I feel
And if I let you know what it's like
It's only because I trust you enough to be real
But if you laugh or minimize it
Then don't expect trust from me
I will hide back where no one knows
I will put the mask back on
So I don't have to bare those who pretend to know
Who make it all a joke
It is not funny
It's my life and while Id like to let someone in I won't if it means I become a joke
Or even worse
You just feign concern
Because what you don't see is not real to you.
