A Poet
you see this tear stream down my face
a lonely star that's been disgraced
while mom and dad went out to play
this girl sat with her thoughts all day
a mom who felt the chill of a tear
a father who ignored the fear
a sister who felt insecure
a brother who remained sincere
a phony front for a casual life
consumes her and her family time
an exhausted gagging in her throat
she's tired of this life she wrote.
