Smile

Smile, she said,

Really,

Is that the answer,

I didn't choose,

This,

I don't want,

This,

If I was,

Bleeding,

Would you say,

Stop bleeding?

No,

So,

Stop talking,

Maybe then I'll smile,

Leave,

My Soul,

To bleed,

Smile...............................................

Con-tentment

Too many seek out all,

Wanting more than they have got,

Happiness is not volume,

It's being content with your lot

Feed

Please do not feed the demons

As you step inside my mind,

For their hunger is insatiable,

They'll eat any(one)thing they find.

Can('t)

I see you've noticed,

Despite my best,

Endeavours,

Then, you smile,

Is it knowing,

Or mocking,

Think of something,

That you,

Won't,

Can't, do,

Then do it,

Still smiling?

No,

What I (can't) do,

Is everything.

(Not) Easy

I manage, just, to change,

Prepared,

Petrified I stand,

It's only a party,

Just walk in,

As I look to walk away,

Drama queen, I'm told,

Drama?

This isn't a drama,

This is....

Cold,

Fact,

Real,

Everything is (not) easy,

Please never just assume.

Ever Near

For a moment I thought it had gone,

My mind it seemed quite clear,

But no, it sat just waiting there,

My companion, ever near.

A Secret

I close my eyes and hope for,

A long and lasting sleep,

From which I'll never come to wake,

It's a secret that I keep
