A place where laughter is shouted down
Inner voices circling staking all around
There is no reason to try and get away
They travel with me every single day
I have come to trust the thoughts I feel
Doubting myself is my Achilles' heel
What once held truth on solid ground
Is now mired in muck and tightly bound
Steady sinking deeper drowning in my mind
I feel around in the darkness hoping to find
Just one happy memory that I may save
To make me richer for all the times I gave
No it's not easy being that circus clown
Living where laughter is shouted down
But here I sit still writing with pen in hand
For this is where I will make my final stand
Don't pity me if these words you should read
For writing them out I surely will be freed
And when the sun comes up to start a new day
I am sure I will be writing in a different way
Can't have your highs unless you have lows
Let face it people that's the way life goes
Reach into yourselves before you reach out
Cause that how most good things come about
Nicely said Jeffry..This one I put right at the top!!
I like this one too, Jeff.
This is one of your best!
My heart cries with you in understanding.
