The truth is ...

I have lived a hard life.

I don't like to ask questions & talk to people ...
Because guess what that leads to.
You wanting me to open up to you.

And then you know about how hard it was.
And then every time I see you ...
There is a pity for me in your heart that your eyes cannot hide.
Not as well as mine hide the pain.

You would never know I lived such a troubled life.
Not by the way that I speak or dress or act.

I am seemingly too content, at first glance.
Of course I know this.
I have mastered self awareness.


I do not want or need your pity & charities.
I am too proud a person for these things.
