"YOU LOOK WELL!"
"YOU LOOK WELL!"
For All My Dear Friends With M.E.
“Hello, there! You look well!
Not seen you for a
while ...
“I love your sunny, funny poems ...
They really make me
smile!”
“So, you're getting better then?
All is hunky-dory?”
How I wish it were
the case ...
But, of course,
that’s not the story.
When people see me, do they think:
“How resilient!
How brave!”
But, actually, I’m
on the brink…
About to drown, not
wave.
I paste a smile upon
my face ...
More acceptable than
a frown.
But it’s the old,
familiar tale, you know ...
Behind my smile ...
The tears of a
clown.
