Standing Tall

Standard

 

Pushing.
Pulling.
Laughing while
Drowning.
Reaching.
Withdrawing.
Smiling more
Than necessary.
Heaven forbid someone
Asks…….
Turmoil.
Twisting and turning.
Nauseous belly.
Quickly glance away.
Everything’s alright;
Could be worse.
Getting back up hoping
Nobody sees
Bloody knees,
Tear stained wrists.
The people keep moving.
The world keeps rotating.
Noises never cease.
Spinning.
Falling.
Standing tall is all people
Prefer to see.

just keep smiling

They’ve Fallen

Standard

Take a look around and what do you see?
People running around like crazy
Too busy to see

Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People self absorbed
Caught in their crazy lives.
Why can’t they open up
Their eyes
And see?

Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People keeping their eyes
On the prize
Instead of what’s inside
Never taking the time
To see

Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People gathering so much stuff
And there never seems to be enough.
Their hands too full
To reach out and help

Someone that’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People’s souls cold as ice

Always trying to grab a slice
Of what’s in other people’s possession
So they fail to
Understand

How someone could have fallen.
And they are falling,
They find themselves falling.
And then they look around and see
Nobody cares

That they, themselves, have  fallen.
