The Other Side

Green eyes
filled with sadness,
brimming with tears,
stare into the darkness
avoiding the sun
that shines brightly
on the other side.

No disappointment here.
This is where
we run and hide
unable to see our problems
we pretend they don't exist.

Run around
ignoring the day
no light to show us
the error of our ways.

Looking for others
to put the blame on
hiding the truth
keeping it from the light
on the other side.

Slowly dying,
withering in the darkness,
hardly recognizable
in this cold place
where we come to forget
everything we should remember
but can't bare to face.

We hide our tears
ignore our fears
on the other side.
