Damaged Goods
Humour is the armour that he wears
It hides the scars of deep despair
Inflicted by lust and cruelty
Hidden away so none shall see
The damaged creature who’s really he
So laugh, fool, and smile
Make them love your style
Hide away the wounded child
And in a million years or so
Maybe the pain will finally go.
Who’s to know?

Maybe the pain will finally go.

Ouch, Blocat. The pain poured from this one. But that "stiff upper lip" came through as well. Made me think of 'Fake it till you feel it!' - nicely done.

Surely you're a much stronger and braver poet for the telling, my friend. Sigh... I'm reminded of the saying "whatever doesn't kill us... (I'll let you finish). Good for you, my friend!
