have you ever frowned when you wanted to smile?
have you ever been serious when you wanted to laugh and make jokes?
have you ever held back when you wanted to love?
i have
people are sad but they don’t cry out
people are happy but they don’t dance
people are angry but they don’t scream
they hide. they hide under a blanket
and they suffer. as boi did.
that which i didn’t ever want to me… i was forced to be. the poison of sorrow… i’m forced to drink. the wound time has inflicted on me… i’ve had to bear. with new colors then i shall color my life… a few new dreams i will plant.
