Painted Nails

Painted Nails By Kevin Robey December 9, 2013 It goes beyond painted nails I wear When hands I hold bring judging stares I dare you to come over and talk to me And I’ll let you know every way to be free Freedom is bliss, but it comes with a price Knowing this heart has more than a vice Judged by so many, understood by a few A comforting fact; you see more than I do This isn’t what imprisons me under lock and key Hating myself for ignoring my desperate plea Straight as a spear to pierce through my ears Push down my sleeves to conceal all the tears I never let go and let the hatred overflow I still cry those tears but I let them all show Hear me hum along, you’re singing my song Show me melodies I’ve known all along I don’t know who you are or your identity But I can see so clearly all the possibilities With so much unknown, to face on my own I feel this single truth right down to my bones So it may not be the life designed for a ring But lying all the time has become exhausting While the stars decide where my heart will lie I’ll try my best to smile, until the day I die
