Crooked Smiles 1
EXPRESSION

Face fallen, cast adrift
Fear and pain that won't lift.
The turmoil that fogs my brain
Sends me spinning round again.

Staring with hearts of steel
They look, they do not feel.
They cannot taste the hurt inside me
Sense the emotions that terrify me.

Have to laugh, try to smile
Need to make my life worthwhile.
Can I be what I was before
Was that good? I can't be sure.

Standing on the edge of reality
Walking the tightrope between madness and sanity.
How do I explain the confusion that blinds me?
My mind is my haven to comfort and guide me.

My mind tries to tell me that my world will be a better place
That they will see past my face.
That I won't be scared to be
The person that's inside of me.

My face is just one part of me
Who I am they do not see.
Who I am is not what they read or say
Who I am is beneath what words can give away.

One day the clouds will part
And life for me will restart.
Pushing away the barriers that bind,
Giving me some hope to find
The me that fear took away
The me that should be here today.

He gave me life, He gave me hope.
He didn't show me how to cope.
But He took my hand and showed to me
All the things that I could be.
The rest is mine to live to be
And trust the way is there to see.

THE CENTRE

All of us strangers, just a name on the screen
Our thoughts being typed, our faces never seen
One thing in common, yet not always the same
Not knowing what causes it, not knowing who to blame

We go out in the world and we face our fears
Sometimes we come home our cheek streaked with tears
The world is unkind, they dont have a clue
We are scared and alone not knowing what to do

As we sit in our chair and type in the words
The screen comes alive, our fears are heard
From one side of the world to the very other
We come from all over to help one another

To share our thoughts our feelings too
To hold each other up during the times we are blue.
To have a good laugh, or to be able to cry
To open our hearts, or just to ask why

So out in to the world each one of us must go
With our heads held high and our strength to show.
Knowing in our minds when the day is full of woe
That we can come home and log on to a place where people know.
