There

I want to yell out and scream 
 I want to lash out without being seen
my smile hide the fist I clench
 the laughter sounds as if it's a cinch
         but inside tormented I sit-
so clear yet unseen
 what this is
   what lies... ahead 
        before this I've seen
         but inside quiet I sit-
the circle of life I know it is
 but unknown in their eyes...
her tears rip at my chains
 as another day is called his
          and inside I still sit-
thee emotions the thoughts the prayers 
 laugh to laugh,cry to release,hold to remember
and this too shall pass as another rises
 so sets the sun that brings December
               and here inside I sit- 
numb to some strange to others 
 a new an unwanted yet it is 
as I watch them gather in hope 
then part goodnight November
              as inside waiting I sit-
