Why, on such a sun-filled day <br />would i awake, crying? <br />did the sun not rise, for me <br />to claim this day, make it into <br />that which i choose? <br /> <br />Why must emotions run in transparent <br />veins, returning to the heart and back <br />to the tears that fell, leaving only <br />an inner shell, that the outer knows not <br /> <br />I look upward to the sky, but it is black <br />even with the sun staring at me, smiling <br />a smirk, - maybe he can read emotions, <br />let him be someone's else road map <br />for today, i need rain to cover the tears<br /><br />Joe Howell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/black-friday/
