Not Alone
Not Alone
Edward Clay
Created October 2016
What sadness
does a veil of laughter hide?
What sorrow
does gleeful merriment cover?
Behind the smile,
Someone’s aloneness and sadness
might be disguised.
It is fear does this.
Fear someone will see.
How alone one is.
Will find
how sad behind the smile is.
I speak from experience.
I speak from time spent
alone and sad.
Spent feeling
was not grown enough of soul
to be able to love.
I did finally
take off my mask.
The covering smile
over dark sadness.
I say to you it is never too late
it is ever possible to find.
Love,
Contentment,
Togetherness.
The knowledge
you are not alone.
