PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

smiling, laughing, happiness, peace

this masquerade may never cease

inside i'm lonely, sad and afraid,

it wont go away during this escapade,

known as life.



enjoying the smiles and the life all around,

listening to every great happy sound,

i want to scream with joy just the same,

but i fear if i do i will go quite insane

just like them.



joking and playing's what small kids will do,

i want to join them but i know i am through,

i know you might say that i'm in quite a jam,

but i can't deny what it is that i am,

an adult.



i wish to scream and to play around,

to sneak and hide secrets that i might have found,

to make a friend, build castles of sand,

for once to forget all my worries and

to have fun.



once in a while, i take off my mask,

i forget responsible and dont take to task

every small thing that i wish to be done,

i know what i am, and what i've become:

Again Child.
