The tears of my heart have gone unseen
Deep down within they flowed as a stream
While on my face a smile did show
The pain I felt no one did know

My heart was broken and blind you be
To the pain that lived deep down in me
In time I learned to it hide it so well
While like an ocean my tears continued to swell

I act like you want , so happy and free
You ask if Im better , and yes I agreed
When you turned your back to walk away
I wished for the truth if only I could say

Alone again I'm was better to be
Nothing to hide I could just be me
Another chance the truth to tell
Is gone again in anger I yelled

I lived my life telling this lie
Day after year, I just wanted to cry
In time I learned to hide  it so well
while like an ocean  my tears continues to swell

Asleep I am, Yet awake
In fields of wheat my mind does make
Rich I am in all this gold
All the beauty it beholds

Not a street within my eyes
Where yellow meets clear blue skies
I stand alone as I am one
In fields of gold under the sun

To my dismay I am returned
My skin is pink , like a burn
My fields of gold I see no more
I was rich but again I'm poor

As the rain fell
ripples formed
inside my heart
tickling my emotions

A smell of freshness
protruded my senses
carrying my mind
to a land of peace

like tears of laughter
drops cleanse my soul
in a dream like state
gravity has vanished

hydrated again
my thirst is gone
my spirit awakens
and my wings take flight

Little red bat
  said to cat
Lets play ball
Cat grabbed the bat
Swung like a brat
Well, the bat went flying
The cat started crying

Then the cat and the bat
laughed as they sat
On top of a big ant hill
They laughed till they cried
and then they decide
At ball they had their fill

My thoughts and my pain along with my sorrow
Are fading away with the hopes of tomorrow
The smell of the summer, It came like a flood
And lavished my mind, as it ran through my blood

The sun and the land, together it came
And kissed one another, like beau and his dame
As one they did blush, Pink fuchsia appears
The breathtaking scene, I stood there in tears

Brought from my trance, a whisper I heard
A promise between them, without speaking a word
Together again some night they will meet
Spectacular it be , I was swept off my feet

Today I'm going to catch some butter flies
And sit upon their wings
Where I'll fly ,I don't know
But I'll see some beautiful things

On top of a tree an elephant sat
Playing a fiddle and wearing a hat
Then to the east my pilot did turn
A little to fast, my stomach did churn

I couldn't believe what my eyes they did see
Dancing away was frog and a flea
I laugh so hard I fell from the wings
In a cloud with a fish dancing with rings

As I sit there and watch, I feel on my head
A big drop of rain, the size of a bed
With the rain I fall fast, and dizzy I get
Then I awaken, Its a dream I regret.
E.M.Rushton.

My heart is the page, upon your words of insults are written
My tears you bath in ,to wash away your guilt
My mind is your pillow, in which you lay your blame to rest
In my fear, you gain your bullying strength
My loneliness is your sanctuary of happiness
My bruised  body, is the place of birth for your rage

The pieces of me, on which  you've left a scar
Is only the surface, of who I am
I've taken and hidden, the rest of my heart
Beyond to a place, you will never to find
My tears  will dry, and my eyes they will shine
For the light I will see, and the darkness unbound
My mind will awaken and the truth shall be found

The fault will be shaken and pride will regain
The fear will dissolve and my strength I will gain
And stand up to you with pride I will see
Love will walk in, and alone I wont be
The bruises will fade, and in time they will heal
The pieces I hid you could not steal
