Comment from Liz O'Neill

Excellent

I remember when I was teaching 6th graders this issue. One of my students commented on Tammy Faye Baker's need to cover up truths. The mascot in the dysfunctional family has to work very hard to cover up the ugliness of the family. This is a good topic. I am voting for this.

I really enjoyed this poem, it's very deep and loves up to its title very well. I guess we all feel like this sometimes, when life gets too much for us. We can only hide The truth for so long. Thanks for sharing

Writer, so few words with such a great meaning and sharing of a condition that we all as humans deal The real us. We often try to impress or put on our game face but the real us is trying to burst out the seams. Great picture describing what your words are saying
