grey areas

smile little one it's not terrible
softening your soul takes time
there are grey areas
that only the blue sadness can fix
duress of the heart makes you ache

reverie gained by ignoring your feelings won't last
because its foundation is built on your sorrow
shed your tears and come to terms with your denial

confession is good for the soul
at least don't lie to yourself
let those secrets tumble from your lips
you're so angry from holding things in

your gift is speach
you're hurting yourself
hiding in the shadows

directing my feelings to entertain thoughts of happiness
because they will shine again
I'm grateful for long bouts of sadness
because my shadowy friends are always honest

sorrow greets me with a smile but doubt in her eyes
she's very intuitive and tries to look away
but I catch her downward look

she tells me without words
There'll be more tears
I've been looking through your diary of tears
you've been dismissing feelings of value

you can't pretend forever
Your unhappiness is shining through
and you look the other way when your needs aren't being understood

he is too busy elsewhere
and that he expects you to paste on a smile is ludacris
your anger will rise again
then what will you do?
