They see her eyes;
Sparkle-like beauty reflected by lights.
Dare not look closely,
It is dull, lonely.

They see her smiling;
Generously inviting.
It is so,
To cover up her sorrow.

They see her dance;
Teasing and graceful,
She does to be in trance,
That dreams, reality she can balance.

They hear her words;
Expressions full of pun,
Statements ungaugeable,
Intricacies of mind unfathomable.

Yet... To silence,
They all listen blindly.
No one knows her entirely,
Not even she.

This woman...
Trusts a poet knows,
How hard it is for her,
To make it to tomorrow.

It's What I'm Made For The way the men of world make me feel, because of how i am
Into the Dark Abyss I Sank They shout for help silently. Yet, won't dare speak a word.
The Wrong Station A sadly missed connection
