Sometimes

Floating through a crowded space

Of turning heads and curious eyes.

An echo of the worlds embrace,

A fleeting struggle your mind denies.

 

Once accepted, strong, a friendly face,

Yet as earth turns around each day,

Confidence falls, sand through lace.

Each moment poised a shade of grey.

 

A ridiculous cry you know its true,

Yet something gets ahold of you.

It grasps your breath and feeds your soul

Of bitter noise, now less than whole.

 

Just snap out of this silly game,

A dangerous sport too much at stake,

A lifes at risk, more than a name.

Endurance more than you can take.

 

This too shall pass, repeat, repeat,

Struggle on, hold your head up high,

Stand and stay upon your feet

We never want to see you cry.
