Beneath this mask

Of all the masks I've worn before, 
The mask of sorrow I've worn much more,

You beg to know of me what's real, 
but what's underneath I dare not reveal,

If not for hiding behind this guise, 
I think you might think otherwise,

Without you near me and without you to guide, a lost soul behind this mask doth hide.

For each time I have shown my face, 
the one you see, once this mask is raised,

Lamentations are heard, screamed far and wide, 
so forever beneath this mask I'll hide.

well I am not a psychologist, but from my personal experience I've found that no one will love you until you learn to love yourself, you have to chalk somethings up to fate and people aren't always gonna see you for the shining star you are. That is their problem and you need to look within and find what you can be proud of and find some things you would like to improve on and start there. The journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step. So take that first step and rebuild yourself into who you want to be, once that happens, you'll be surprised at how many people will want to be near you and be associated with someone who has the fortitude to conquer any challenge. Best of Luck! -DC

I'm so sorry to read of your sadness. Life is a journey that brings us thru good times and bad. Without the bad we would never appreciate the good. Take comfort in knowing you are not alone. Although it will be tough going for a while know there is a light at the end of the tunnel....as well as the wonderful gift you will always have from your wife...your beautiful little girl. Enjoy every minute you have with your little angel and learn to open your heart to love again. There is someone special out there just waiting to be in your life...you will love again. ?
