    ILLUSION

    No one knows the burden I carry

    Wearing the badge of survivor courage

    I walk alone; I dare not tarry

    My eyes I hide lest they see my baggage

     

    A bright smile

    Some cheerful laughter

    Ordinarily beguile

    ‘Til sometime after

     

    It’s a treacherous thing

    This mask that lies

    It hides everything

    But what’s in the eyes

     

    No one hears my soul’s silent cry

    Desperately trying not to end up a loser

    They see someone who can almost fly

    Just an illusion created by my abuser

    If this poem is about the picture that I enlarged....then may I say that that jaunty hat slung backwards and your smile is a dead give away......you are a winner however you place that hat.....

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
