    Be Still

    I fake a smile
    So no one sees
    The hurt and pain
    That’s killing me
    Theres no one to tell
    No one to confide
    I think I’ll just stay here
    Ball up and hide

     

    Thin
    Close to breaking
    Fading smiles
    I’m faking
    They begin to crack
    And underneath
    My fear
    And silent
    Screaming teeth

     

    Demons
    Under the fasade of me
    Shadows
    In the heart of me
    The pain is mine
    Slowly it kills
    I just want to stay here
    And be really still

    A stillness I know so well is magically and wonderfully explained at last. I love it

    Some great lines, quiet can be good and sometimes much needed, others times ... it stays far too long when one needs to speak. be well, k

    The thin line occupied, to sit there and ponder for a while .. a little longer .. all is temporarily quiet .. quieter .. then voices are heard.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
