These thought are always there,
They show that I do care;
Although I make them hide,
Sometimes I think I've lied.
I cave into myself, Not seeking any help;
But that is what I need
To be freed from my greed.
I want to fly away
To escape here someday;
But the future scares me:
What it brings if set free.
I hold to what i know,
Even when I should go
That's why something so small
Is what it takes to fall.
People hold out their hands,
But I look to other lands.
I'm trapped inside this hole,
The one I made alone
If escape could be near,
I don't think I'de hear:
I see only one way out;
And it ignores my shout.

Masks
When a smile is a frown
And a frown is a smile,
The eyes we must crown
For relinquishing wile,
When a laugh is a tear
And a tear holds no pain,
Will fear fear to fear
And fearfully abstain?
When the act is the truth
We've lied to believe,
And the fable in sooth
Is but a peerless weave,
When each mortal mistake
Is a tale and a song
And the scriptures are fake
Or perhaps they're wrong,
When the mind is the eye
That sees the outside
But shame, it's too shy
Of the tongue which has lied,
When the answers are easy
To the questions unknown,
Do you not feel queasy
Of how little we've grown?
When acceptance is feigning
For it

IF TEARS WERE WISHES...
I cried a million tears and more
a constellation to fit into Eternity's store,
and if each tear were a scarlet love-knot
in the cord that ties my heart to yours caught,
without rest I will follow this otherworldly lane
of tears and knots leading me back to you again.
If tears could build a bridge from here to there
and memories were stairs I could ascend with care,
then from Earth to Heaven would not seem very far
to go to bring you back again, my kindred heart,
and if tears were wishes shining like a star above
then I would wish you here with me, my kinsmet love.

Hide Behind a Mask
Have you ever had to hide behind a mask?
Whether it be your friends, your family.
Have you ever had to be someone you're not?
Have you ever pretended to be strong
When all you want to do is break down,
To be weak and let someone else be strong for once.
Have you ever tried to put on a fake smile
And pretend that you're happy?
That's what everyone thinks, isn't it?
That the key to life is happiness?
That's how we get by with people, isn't it?
So why not give them what they want?
Even when all you want is the complete opposite
And sometimes you just want to cry
And not have to pretend for once
And to have the comfort of knowing that it's ok.

I've been there felt that....and for reasons we grasp blaming circumstance as well as one's self. When really it's about discovering inner peace. Because once you arrive everything else sort of falls in place.
