"Life may not always be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance."
"Our finger prints don't fade from the lives we've touched"


I lay in the grass on a bright summer day
The wind smoothly brushes up against my face
The sun gently warms my body
All seems serene
But in reality
This is just a dream

My mind is buzzing with chaos
My world is crashing down around me
Everyone who means something is
Slowly disappearing like a cruel magicians act
Family bonds are breaking
Friendships are changing
And hearts are bleeding

So what else is their left to do?
Nothing.
Just lay in an open field basking in the sun
And put on a mask of happiness
because it’s easier to fake a smile
than it is to shed a tear


The author's comments:
The last few months have been quite a journey, full of ups and downs. This poem captures the emotions and confusion people feel when they are having a bad day. We, as humans, tend to bottle up our emotions, and hide them from those who we truly love. But more importantly, from those who truly love us back.
