blindsided

What do you do when someone reads the cards you thought were so well hidden. When you realize all the work you've done was on your head and there's so much more to do on your heart. I wasn't expecting this in a work day, for someone to notice and make me feel anew the hollowness within me. At least its been identified, this reason I've felt adrift. Validated and recognized by an outsider, next on the agenda in caring for that which is me.
