I'm Doing Alright

Tangled in a tapestry

of mixed emotions.

Lost in dizzy dreams.

When the notion arises

to scream... I do so.

Inside my unheard cries
ring like bells, but as far
as anyone else can tell...
I'm doing alright.




I wear it well you know,
this facade of lies.
But if you look closely,
really close you might just
see these tear stains
in the corners of my eyes.




Because I do cry, I cry at
night time when no one is around.
I have days when I wish
the ground would open up
and swallow me whole.


(in fact everyday)




Inside my unheard cries
ring like bells, but as far
as anyone else can tell...
I'm doing alright.
