A Poem - A Quiet Scream - Do You Like?

[Marguerite]

With shoulders square and head erect
He walks proudly for all to see
There's a pain others don't detect
Yet he smiles and acts cordially

He carries his burden all alone
To share would upset loved ones
A quiet scream has set up home
Yet he laughs, jokes, and feigns fun

He dons a mask to hide sadness
And acts brave in a scary land
Deciding to never confess
Yet dares one who understands

 

[MARNIFAERI]
