Powerless

I've learned to hide
Where you can't find me.
I am the outsider.

I cover my pain,
Coat it with a veneer.
Of gladness.

Humour is my weapon of choice,
And my defence.
No one knows me

I'm out of control
So easy to hurt
i'm powerless

Dear Lou,

I'm out of control
So easy to hurt
i'm powerless

a great summing up of all your powerful feelings! It looks like I've missed a few of yours, so I'm here to catch up. Great work, my dear. I wouldn't change a word of it.
