I'm sorry <br />that I'm not strong enough <br />to hide my anger <br />- frustration <br />- defeat <br />behind an army of smiles <br />and unwilling giggles <br />I'm sorry <br />that I'm not strong enough <br />to hide my sadness <br />- disappointment <br />- contempt <br />behind a mass of laughter <br />and empty grins <br />and I'm sorry <br />my eyes are doors that never close <br />but if sensitivity is such <br />a weakness <br />then I'd rather be weak <br />than be a stone-faced sculpture <br />who never cries <br />but never really smiles<br /><br />Kim McInnis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-5/
