White Fences

People hide behind white fences
Running to the door with their smiling faces
Going inside to hide the pain
The pain that hides
Behind the white fences
And the smiling faces

People pass we all say ‘OK’
Politely going on with our routine day
Days turn to month, months to years
Only to turn into deep, dark tears

People are hiding behind white fences
Running to the door with their smiling faces
Turning inside to run and hide
As the pain burns inside.

words

to feel is bliss
most of the time…
to feel is numbing
some of the time…
to understanding is explosive
all of the time!

to know the hole deep and dark
fingers scratching
legs lunging
arms thrusting, grabbing for hope.

Mind tricks,
A silly game,
Deceit at the finest levels,
Convinced otherwise no others could tell.

To be happy
To reach
Why, sometimes I ask why
As the pain, floods..
Can you tell, from up there?
Can you make Heaven from my hell?

Fix it from up There
After all you left us here
Took the easy way
And I will have to tell.

Instead I sit here
Mind tricks,
A silly game I tell
To be happy is what I sell
A smile and a blank stare.
