Sep 2016
Yearning for the simple joys that were missed; 
secluded by depression and anxiety. 
Boundless pleasures eluding each grasp; 
with growing concern of ridicule.  
 
Singing out loud to a favorite song; 
voice resonating inside the house. 
Dancing to the rhythm of the pounding beat 
as it vibrates the core of emotion.
 
The wind flutters around like butterfly kisses, 
the heat from the sun caressing one cheek. 
As he thoroughly sniffs every blade of grass 
walking the dog is most enjoyable.
 
Judgmental glances behind the window; 
probing each private thought. 
The hidden reality will be exposed 
by opening that sealed door.
 
If closely peering, it will be seen 
the heartache and rage coursing within.
The shame glowing like an aura 
that is hard to miss.
 
Praying to God to find inner peace 
from this loneliness that is unbearable, 
sadness seeping from tired eyes 
each morning that they open.
 
Silent words are spoken 
through the eyes desolation shouts.
