A Short Halt
Silence surrounds
me in this
dark, dark place,
no one can see me
because of my
sad, sad face.
I chose to
come across this
way in a time
of sadness
just maybe for
today
you didn't do
this, it wasn't your
fault
I put my life
on my own halt
I had to think
about what my
life holds
a big problem
or being bold
it was a
time to be
thinking a lot
which felt
like I
was dying
in a melting pot
but as timed
faded shortly away
I could
feel the
turns across
my face.
I changed
from sad to
something more
that found its
way to me
through my open doors.
