Painting abstract smiles upon bitter sorrows
Inside crying rivers all the while
Pasting a few skewed rainbows too
Obstructing further the darker view
"Oh, I'm alright" goes the standard answer ruse
Talking was never quite my solution thing
And puddles build, body's buried beneath a muse
As the inward outward ripples
And the dam continues,... to hold back the pain
Like clouds waiting holding up the rain
And then a sunny disposition dares to take the stage
Still, I'm drenched in too much doubt can't seem to dry out
And harder pours the blues floods the rest of day
