There
you sit my friend
Alone in your world
Surrounded with love
But still feeling unwanted
Emotions confuse you
They pass through your life
Like explorers from another time
Causing interest, curiosity
And yet uncertainty
Are they safe?
Or are they like a gaily wrapped box
With a destructive heart at the centre
You
look around
And see what you don't understand
Smiles and laughter, jokes and fun
Surely this can't be right
When your world is in torment and pain?
Why is another's sky bright blue
When yours is so dull, bleak and desolate?
Why can't you bask with the others
In the sunshine which is happiness?
Those
who sit beside you are so close
And yet so much keeps you apart
They tell you don't worry
Everything will be fine
But their words are muffled
Faded over the distance which they travel
They don't understand
So you keep your secrets
Locked away inside your heart
And then the colour in the sky returns
And laughter and jokes become relevant
But in the early hours
Your secrets return
To keep you company till first light
