stress is rising,
water is boiling,
it is pressurizing,
getting ready to explode.

time is ticking,
running out.
need a release
need a spout.

the pressure is on
the heat is upon me.
the temperature is hot,
help comes?, i think not.

u think u know
my world in which i live.
u think u know the
time and how much I give.

what the world sees
and what the world knows,
are 2 different things,
only God knows.

one mask in the home,
one mask for the world,
a smile for the world,
a frown for the home.
