Array ( [sid] => 59256 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Secret [time] => 2004-08-07 13:39:24 [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. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 212 [topic] => 48 [informant] => ell_03 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 1 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
