And tell me why <br />They hide their pain <br />Behind their quiet eyes <br />When all we want to do <br />Is hold fast to what we know <br />And dare to not let go <br />To envision what we dream <br />And forget how to scream <br /> <br />Because burning <br />Is harder than it looks <br />And agony <br />Is too commonplace for them <br />So why <br />Why do we even try? <br />When all they want to do, <br />Is die <br /> <br />Pounding through their veins <br />I know, I understand their pain <br />The dark corner <br />Of bitter ends and truth <br />They’ll always hide <br />Yet are so afraid to lose <br />What they have never gained <br />Leaving them, all understandably, sane <br /> <br /> <br />Get down <br />You have to meet at eyelevel <br />Because all around <br />The voices are pressing hard <br />… <br />And burning, <br />Is harder then it looks<br /><br />Dawn Michelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/b-simply-burning-b/
