Puffed empty eyes,
goals built with lies.
Hopes torn to shreds,
dreams on a tread.
Non beating heart,
all faith departs.
Lonely and numb,
sorrows succumb.
Restless at night,
nothing feels right.
Deep inner guilt,
defenses built.
Crisp forrest air,
makes life seem fair.
Brightens insides,
positive find.
A solid cry,
helps sadness fly.
Yellow raincoat,
keep tears afloat.
Another way,
and role to play,
Negative sways,
certainty stays.
– Grace Y Estevez – Reddy
