There
I want to yell out and scream
I want to lash out without being seen
my smile hide the fist I clench
the laughter sounds as if it's a cinch
but inside tormented I sit-
so clear yet unseen
what this is
what lies... ahead
before this I've seen
but inside quiet I sit-
the circle of life I know it is
but unknown in their eyes...
her tears rip at my chains
as another day is called his
and inside I still sit-
thee emotions the thoughts the prayers
laugh to laugh,cry to release,hold to remember
and this too shall pass as another rises
so sets the sun that brings December
and here inside I sit-
numb to some strange to others
a new an unwanted yet it is
as I watch them gather in hope
then part goodnight November
as inside waiting I sit-
