I laugh `cause I think I should
you let me in
but I don`t fit in so good
I stand outside
of your rose-tinted windows
a spectator
indistinct from the shadows

I come back home
hoping for sanctuary
but broken vows
have become customary
I am quiet
and quiet drowns in all this noise
I get so small
from trying to keep my poise

this shell, it cracks
the heat simmers underneath
a broken mask
falls away from what`s beneath
I am exposed
and boiling over at last
I try to scream
but find that the moment... has passed [comments] => 5 [counter] => 129 [topic] => 48 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Outside

Great poem. I have felt the same exact way many times. Not really comfortable with my surroundings. But, you are not abnormal. We all feel the same way at times.

Happy Easter!

very beautiful poem!

missing the moment to scream
outside, far;
I wonder if it
were a freedom
that escapes
in the raw natural
sense

some intuition
zen like, given
a name

this really touched
my heart

Peace!

So much into the emotions and yet detached from them - excellent portrayal. Been there from time to time. My favorite part is the expert ending of the last four lines. I think once upon a time, I was one with rose-tinted glasses myself. Blessings To you MA

You place the reader in the tenor of the poem. We are sorting through it and feeling the movement of the words you/'/ve chosen.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
