Just Because I Hide It…!Just because I hide it, Doesn't mean that its not so, Why should I let the world see my pain? That's not the right thing to do, you know! So as I tarry through life, With pain my a constant trial, I always, always try my best, To hide it with a smile! What's the use of complaining? Because tell me, what will that do? Nothing, only cause misery, And that's no good for me and you! So yes, I place a smile on my face, for the world to see, That no matter what, no matter my pain, I am the best that I can be! And every morning when I awake in my pain, I thank God for my life! For I'd rather live in the pain I endure, And rather I live in strife! What's the use in being pain free and healthy? If you haven't got a life? Because for me that's the choice for me, Death, or pain and strife! Pain and strife win every time – For it's a long life I will strive! And every day when I wake in pain… It tells me I'm still alive! I do well - I know that's true, For no-one knows the pain in me! And no, they won't, I won't let it show… I'm a strong willed lass you see! And many a day my excruciating pain - Means I can't get out of bed… For it happens so, quite often, I'm so bad I can't lift my head… Then I tell myself over and over, Even though my tears I can't stay, Catherine, than God for your life, For you are still here this day! And thank my God I do – For I'm so lucky to be alive… And therein is the strength in me, And the constitution to survive! Pain is only all consuming, If you allow it to consume you, So don't allow it, don't wallow, Rather, do what you have to do! Yes, pain...Is a terrible thing to bear, That's so very true… But I won't be beaten… So I do what I have to do! And yes, I need a chair, so what! At least I‘m as independent as can be! And at the end of the day, come what may, I can get out and about you see! And people don't see my chair, Rather, they see me! That's because of course - I'm as mad and silly as can be! ©Catherine Inglesby 2000 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
