Array ( [sid] => 120865 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Behind the Curtain [time] => 2006-05-27 14:36:22 [hometext] => This was written for a friend, who could not face the outside world, but preferred to live in his own fantasy. This was my answer to him. Sue x [bodytext] => The curtain swishes and closes,
On the audience out there,
What secret is in the darkness,
Hidden dreams or despair,
Closed in within an abyss,
Of dread and broken sleep,
What comfort is their in that,
For you have gone so deep,
What consolation is there,
In hiding from the past,
Open up to life its self,
Here's a hand that you can grasp,
Take little steps to begin,
For you have no need to hurry,
Or will these words startle you,
And once again you will scurry,
Be yourself in all you do,
And face life with all its woes,
And believe in yourself always,
Its a tip from one who knows.

Behind the Curtain

The curtain swishes and closes,
On the audience out there,
What secret is in the darkness,
Hidden dreams or despair,
Closed in within an abyss,
Of dread and broken sleep,
What comfort is their in that,
For you have gone so deep,
What consolation is there,
In hiding from the past,
Open up to life its self,
Here's a hand that you can grasp,
Take little steps to begin,
For you have no need to hurry,
Or will these words startle you,
And once again you will scurry,
Be yourself in all you do,
And face life with all its woes,
And believe in yourself always,
Its a tip from one who knows.

WEll, it was a good answer. I have a friend who is like that, and also, she thinks that life will be always "pretty". She doesn't know about life, and prefers to hide behind the curtain instead of facing everything that could come. For doing that, when something different happens she just asks "why". Sometimes people have to open up to life.

Great Write.

You are both obviously a caring friend and a good poetess. You have a very nice flow and finesse in your style.

I know this is late, but welcome to YPDC.

Take care,

Tim

P.S. Hope your answer to your friend helped him.
