Who am I?

As I go through a tough transition of life, I often question who I am as a man. I know I am not the first man to have his wife leave him, not am I the first man to question everything in life after divorce.

I hope this poem finds you peace in whatever journey you are on.

I

Behind a happy face is a story filled with pain,

A story with a dark outline… a story filled with rain.

Stuck in a world… it is what it seems,

Locked up emotions, become my nightmare dreams.

Darker than a night on all hollows eve,

Continuing to haunt, will they ever leave?

II

Smiling every day to hide away my pain,

Even behind my sunshine smile, hangs a dark cloud filled with rain.

Walking on my own… Stuck in a dark cold world; moving ever so slowly.

It’s just a path of life that many do not know.

As I turn to face the mirror… my reflection not me, but a confused little boy.

Tears run down my face…My reflection turns a blur as I turn to him and shout!

Whispering words of wisdom… Gone now, what was he about?
