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

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.
