Poem
Can you hear the sweet sound? Of care-free birds all high Singing unknown pretty tunes If you can… please Lend me your ears so I can embrace too I heard the sun was out today Shining its rays into the skin of men Warming soul and hearts all around me I woke up to darkness If you can… please Lend me your eyes so I can witness daylight My beauty I have or so I believe Lies beneath these clothes I bear The pure, deep simple yet true smile I know naught, hidden by the mask I stole From nature to hide myself Pretty. I hear them say, they don't know I'm different in me, beneath my face People have skeletons in their closets I have masks, yes I laugh now When reality strikes I die I live by faith but it fails me @ times I eat and breathe hope for a better tomorrow Still it fails me @ times but I keep it somehow The make believe world surrounds me Still I laugh knowing tomorrow bears the same story The people I hide in me I believe, can roar a roaring lion back in amazement Can make a child see love on another level Mountains can bow down @ my heart Yet these roads I travel are built on the people in me If those eyes engraved on your face The ears blooming on your head The true smile stuck between your glooming cheeks Can be spared just for a day… just for me I'll kindly and freely trade them for my masks. If not… take my hand and walk with me For fear surrounds my loneliness Sorrow clouds my judgement on each day I bear Patience is a forlorn memory built in my head Love exists only in my imagination…
