A sheet of paper fresh and new, <br />Reflects the sky ever blue. <br />Ink that seeps and runs through its veins, <br />Inflicts on a reader mental pain. <br /> <br />All things white can be black inside, <br />They shall surface, all things that hide. <br />What is hidden now may not be for long, <br />Today it's safe but tomorrow it's gone. <br /> <br />Safeguard yourself and lock the door, <br />Keep on hiding but you're safe no more. <br />The damage no longer comes from outside but within, <br />No matter what darkness will win.<br /><br />Mandy Lee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mental-infliction/
