Ever the lady,
she neatly weaves
the tattered threads
of her torn life
into a pattern
of false smiles
displayed
convincingly
so that no one
will notice
she is just barely
holding it together

This one has surpassed "Oops" as my favorite. The thing about great writers - poets, songwriters, etc. - is that in any given poem or song, a person will think, "god, that's ME - how could they know just how I'm feeling?" You turn universal feelings into personal experiences. ~
