[hometext] => Its been awhile since Ive written so please tell me if you think its any good. It is a good representation of how I often feel.
[bodytext] => Im being forced back to a place I once knew Where there was peace and tranquility Where everywhere the flowers grew I'm going back to a place of beauty. Everyday I still feel the peace And I still see the happy faces The laughter would never cease It was different than other places. It was a land full of wonder And one filled with grace There was no rain or thunder A smile was plastered on everyones face. But nothing is ever really perfect Many secrets this place has carried Deeply hidden we have conflict But we have to keep it burried. If we were to tell what we knew We would be hunted down So I'm sorry to say we cant tell you What goes on in our perfect town... However I fear that I must tell you No matter the pain I will have to withstand I feel it is something that I must do I must expose what goes on in this land. In the very dusty far out outskirts of town Always they are watching and waiting as well Waiting until the time that they can come down Forever fearing that one of us will tell. Endlessly it seems they torture us all Their monsters with no heart They whip us till we fall Then force us up and again they start. They force us to be cheerful So that no one will suspect Inside we all are fearful We show them no respect. For me this monster happens to be acceptance among my peers It haunts me it's everywhere I can see It's all I've wanted now for many years. What is your monster inside of you Is it the same as mine or a different one Overcome your monster and become new Push through to see the shining sun.
