How I feel since the death of my son
People asks how I'm doing
just to be kind
Not wanting the truth
so I tell them I'm fine.
I don't tell I'm hurting
Nor speak of the pain
I don't mention the tears
which fall down like rain.
We don't speak of sadness
or how my mind screams
so loud in my head
forever it seems.
Instead we just smile
and go on our way
a sigh of relief
for the things I don't say.
