Sometimes

Sometimes my smile hides my sadness. Sometimes my laughter hides my pain. Sometimes my eyes look down. Sometimes my face hides my fears.  Sometimes I'm happy.  Sometimes I'm not.  Sometimes I'm sad.  Sometimes I'm  not.  Sometimes....

There are so many things that go wrong in life.  The economy is messed up and the bills are piling up.  I think people sometimes forget who you are because you present them with someone other than yourself.  Many people lose sight of their true self when they are around other people.  We hide from life when we are not open and honest about life issues and situations.  We walk around with a smile when we really need to cry.  We hide behind our fears when we should embrace and fight through them.  We talk about other people when need to shut the hell up.  We worry about the small things when we shouldn't be worried about anything.  We hope someone will help us when we pretend that we have it all together.  We work hard looking for immediate results when we should just be patient.  We look at what we don't have when we should be thankful for what we do have.

Sometimes I'm sad and I pray.  Sometimes I'm happy and I pray.  Sometimes I feel down and I pray.  Sometimes I laugh and I pray.  Sometimes I smile and I pray because I know who holds my hand.
