The Show Must Go On!

Comment from royowen
There is something about life, or rather how we are, and how we would like people to see that tends to make appearances "hypocritical" sometimes that's important, but a lot of the time...not. I would rather be honest, but sometimes I too, behave like a hypocrite, this is great freestyle poem. Well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Welcome
Comment from LyndaS
Brilliant! This is a different take on sadness that you connected with me on. "performing the mundane interactive..." and "continue my life's revue" were one of many of my favorite lines in this entry. This is well written with a great presentation. The show must go on, indeed. Damn the torpedoes. VERY well done. Good luck in this contest.

I like this entry for the - Sad poem contest. It describes well the false appearance one plays to the audience of society and those close. I think we have all been guilty of this facade. It is perhaps a way of letting the - bad times - take their course. That or self medication. Depression can be wicked monster to tame. Thank you for sharing this engaging read.

Thanks for your insightful review.
Comment from Jane Jane King
This poem speaks very eloquently about lonliness, feeling empty and with out hope. I think what it is really saying is that depressed people often go through the motions without their heart being in it. Very fine wording. Well put!!

Thanks for your comments and review. Indeed, most depressed people present a happy, untroubled public face.
Comment from Julie Lau
Sorry, no sixes left for this remarkable poem. It is a sad fact that we are often compelled to present our normal persona to the world, and carry on. I remember a time when I went to and from work as usual, managed somehow to perform, then went back to a lonely flat of dust and broken crockery, discarded and spoilt stuff to step over...

Yeah, I understand how we are forced to put on the public face to just provide for our physical needs. Thanks for your comments and review.

"lonely anguish" might sound better than "alone anguish," but that's just my opinion. You did a great job of describing "putting on a show" after a loss. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

I appreciate your suggestion. I was aiming for the alliteration usage there. Thanks for the review.
