The Back Pocket
When something negative happens, you must find a way.
To put it in the pocket for another day.
Keep it there briefly, gently tuck it away.
The back pocket of the mind, is a good place to hide,
When you can't face the pain, learn to put it aside.
Until it is time to face it, with your eyes open wide.
