PREVENTABLE MEASURES

Preventable Measures

Do hear my laugh
My grin disappears
Pain is so near
Standing by itself
Near restless
Overreacts  emotions
Remaining calm
Into a laugh
No snarling
A parade of souls
Lies beyond my words
Locked deeply
Like a safety on a gun
Never shared
Just prevental measures
To my heart
