[bodytext] => Three Keys January 16, 2005 A glimpse into our lives to see who we are Not the occupation or description labeled on like a scar Not the practiced words that everyone hears This is my family, underneath the way it appears She cries, beside me, in the dark So close we are, and yet so far... She hides her tears, beneath a laugh I smile, because I'm crying too... The way a story can make you feel Captured, tranced, and maybe abused And then she says, I cry for this but not for life? I nod, because for us both, it is true He stands there, across the street With friends, talking, and shuffling his feet He smiles then, and says his goodbyes I wonder, what does he see through those eyes? When he asks for an opinion, And questions what he has chosen to do, to say I wonder if he knows of his insecurities and That we share this problem we both face, in secret, every day? My sister is a lock, my brother is his own I try a little every day, to open the unknown We three together are the keys The pieces of a family, the pieces of me [comments] => 3 [counter] => 187 [topic] => 23 [informant] => calista [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )
