It seems I'm only happy <br />when I'm here in this place <br />Truly happy only here <br />a mask is on in any other case <br /> <br />It seems I only smile <br />when I'm here away from home <br />where I can talk to who I trust <br />where I'm not alone <br /> <br />It seems I get that twinkle in my eye <br />when I'm here not there <br />I can only truly be myself <br />around the people that care <br /> <br />It seems I only really laugh <br />when I'm here were people understand <br />where they love and comfort me <br />without a demand <br /> <br />Is there a reason why the person <br />who is supposed to care for me <br />wants to make my life hell <br />doesn't want me happy<br /><br />Silent Speaker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-place-4/
