And when the make up melts and the disguise slides away.... how many will be the same as when it began?  Interesting how we all hide beneath these things to be brave!

 ~ a face, a different hat...a pose for seasons...I think this poem is one many can relate to.  So full of imagery and feeling ~ Wonderful writing with your gilded pen Shelly ~ ~ Love you dearly xoxox Elyse

All too often we have to "put on a face"--sad but true. Have a good weekend Shelly!

Discovering your real self in a crowd of faces! The facade of a clown used so beautifully!

Oh my friend... " the tears of the clown... when there is no one around"  I know them well sweetie... and unfortunately sometimes we have to put on  a "face" and hide our true feelings... people do not want to be around sadness... that is regular people, not us poets... We thrive on sadness  loll What is it they say?  Laugh and the world will laugh with you,  Cry and you will cry alone" or something like that. Be well darlin' xoxo
