I UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN

I know what it means to suffer in silence

I know how it feels important to keep your suffering to your self

Not wanting to share what you feel inside

And so you start to smile because the whole world is smiling

Not wanting the world to know something is wrong with you

Because that is what you feel

I know how it feels not to feel understood

Feeling like you are standing alone without shelter in a cold windy day

I know the feeling of wanting to move far away

To start life a fresh

Cut off all the past

I know how scary that can be too

I know that you need to talk

How important it can be for you

Most importantly

I understand your pain

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

KINDRED

I wish I had a friend Whose loyalty would never bend Walk with me miles on end Be plain and never pretend A cynic who would blend But to me be a kindred A spirit that knows me Keep me and my secrets just as I would To the very end
