Contained Pain

I keep my world
of pain from you,
my turmoil, my
struggle with a
world that has never
made sense on
a whole,

glimpses and
sparks of peace,
of true caring,
of genuine love,
genuine friendships,
flowers know
magic,

I keep my world
of pain from you,
my insides trapped
in my minds internal
hell, a thought process
that will not, accept
the state of man,

how they took
the preciousness
of living and turned
it into a yard sale of
principles,

integrity rare as a cure,

I keep my world
of pain from you,
you get the
exterior every things
fine, you get the love
version of I don't
wanna worry you,

I am in your life
to make you happy,
not to stir up
livings hell,

and I sit at the
table with my mind
thinking of alternatives,

thinking there's got to
be a simple formula
that will heal.
