Beaming Disguise

A Poem

--

You try
to find ways
to cope.

To escape
it all

Yet still,
there is pain;
refusing
to disappear

What do you
turn to,
to heal?

To erase
this lingering
discomfort?

Maybe
solace lies
in the fallen tears

or
in the promise
of time

But
until such respite
arrives

you shall
keep wearing
this beaming disguise.
