[b]the mask[/b]

i am distant from here
hiding in my own shell
sitting behind my mask
wondering if anyone can tell
that i have my mask on.

my mask is painted
painted in pretty colors
colors of red
of black blue and silver.

colors of pain and colors of shame
colors of hurt and colors of trust
that will never be whole again.

i hope that inspite
of all thats been done
we will all
last through the night.

i hope trust will grow
and never fail
then remember
that love never fails.

[b]Will it come?[/b]

Will the peace of mind ever come,
or even the stillness of the soul.
Will my heart ever stop longing,
or sit and wait for the pain to end.
Is there an end to pain or sorrow,
or even the heart that will no longer cry.
Will it come?
The serenity in body and mind waits for things to come.
Come and destroy me all that is within.
The pain welled up within me is scared to see freedom.
Of all the bondage dwelling deep inside of me.
Will the peace that seems unreachable,
or even in the distance.
Will the love that seems unknown,
or even left behind come forward.
Loneliness has overcome me,
body, soul, and spirit.
Mind, will, emotions,
Drowning from within.
Will it come?

[b]My deepest part is unknown to man[/b]

My deepest part is unknown to man
My secrets dark within me
My heart holds all that no one could imagine
No one can harm me
A wall was built
Oh so long ago
Blocking out others
Guarding from pain and hurt
From the next day till tomorrow

My dreams and aspirations
My hopes fly oh so high
My emotions rolling on
My giant roller coaster

My secrets live oh so deep within me
Where no one can see them
My cries of exclamation
Running all about me

No one can see me crying
Or hear my plea for help
For this wall I built around my heart
Doesn't let anything out

My pleas fly all around me
But there is no
Way out

[b]MY HEART CRIES OUT[/b]

My heart cries out
Of all that has
Come out of
From the
Now
Past

My devotion has
Dwindled down
From past hurt
From people
All alike
Within
Me

Anger wells within
Me of all that's
Been said and
Done to me
By evil
Hearts

And wills within
The saddened

Hearts remains
Sheer pain

Comes to
Me now

[b]My Outlook Is Clouded[/b]

My outlook is clouded
My heart and mind confused
My thoughts out wandering
What's inside of me.

My outlook is clouded
My eyes see only myself
My view only sees my pain
And all the things that happened to me.

My heart is hurt within me
My mind seems to be lonely
My being is pressed
But am I really here?

My thoughts are separated
My mind is confused
My thoughts are so jumbled
Inside and out of me.

Everything within me
Everything around
Things seem to be spiraling
Spiraling all around.

[b]sleep in peace[/b]

?can i sleep?
?no i can not?
?my body is dying?
?it's dying away?
?wasting away?
?because it can't sleep?
?sleep is so precious?
?i wish i may?
?i wish i might?
?but there's no way tonight?
?there are many things?
?that have to be?
?in the night?
?for peace to be?
?peace to sleep?
?and peace to live?
?this i hope?
?for peace to be?
?i hope to sleep?
?in peace be me?
?sleep in peace?
?in peace tonight?
