How are you really?

Leecyt Poems

Come on in, take a seat I’ve got something to say Just wondering can I ask you, how you “really” are today? The smile you show us outwardly is wonderful and bright But it’s your eyes that show the sorrow and something has dimmed their light There is a certain kind of sadness that is bleeding from your skin You can try and hide it all you like but a friend can see within Just know that I am here for you when the time for you is right Maybe it’s not time today for you to share your plight My ears are here to listen and my shoulders made for tears My arms were made for hugging and for holding loved ones near Just know that you are not alone although that’s how it feels A heart can break so easily, but with time the wounds can heal Don’t hold back your sadness, let those feelings go The freedom of release will set you free you know But if you hold it all inside, and refuse to let it out It will consume you, overtake you and fill you with self doubt. Come on in, take a seat I’ve got something to say Just wondering can I ask you, how you “really” are today? Elise L Turnedge 10th July 2014
