Can you see my poker face?

The sun is shining in the blue sky. Not a single cloud can be seen. The birds chirp their most beautiful songs and the fresh wind blows my hair in my face. I close my eyes and breathe the fresh breeze deep into my lungs.

Around me there are people talking, laughing and enjoying life. People who go for a walk with their dog and children are not aware of the games and all the problems in this world.

Everyone is fine. Nobody pays me any attention. Because from the outside, I'm fine. I smile at the people who come towards me, return the greeting when someone greets me in a friendly manner. I exude a calm and balanced aura. Everyone around me feels good.

But am I really as good as it seems? Am i lacking for anything? Am I so happy and balanced or is there a crack in my facade?

Because inside it can look different in a person. The first appearance may be deceptive. So take a closer look. The greatest sunshine you know, it can sometimes feel bad even if it doesn't look like it at first. But if you take a closer look you will notice that its sunshine has lost its shine and intensity.

Most of the time it is the people who put other worries and their own problems aside or do not consider them important. But people should also have a right to share their problems with others and to be able to open up to others. Because maintaining such a poker face is pretty difficult. 

Because over time you deny yourself and your feelings, you no longer know who you are and where you belong. People get lost in the vortex of darkness and can no longer come out alone without outside help and that can end horribly ...

So take a closer look, be just as interested in others as you are in yourself and be the rock solid for someone who needs you the most. Take care of each other!
