Discrete...

Feeling down...

Discrete...

When my eyes leak and my heart skips a beat
I try so hard to be discrete even when the pain peaks,

I feel down but never out
I get energized by this pain and instead of pout I want
to scream and shout,

But I stay discrete because I don't want to repeat the
mistakes I've made in the past the same mistakes that
bit me in the a*s,

I try to learn from my past mistakes
and not make them again so I just pretend everything is
okay because eventually tomorrow will be a new day,

One day that pain will hide itself just like I hide my frustration
so I just stay patient knowing that the smile will return and I won't
want to hide like the sun behind a cloud my frown will be turned upside
down,

So for now I will stay discrete
I will let the pain peak
I will let my eyes leak
I will be okay cause tomorrow is a new day...

VERY well written piece with subtle emotional swings so close to the surface I felt that if I could only reach a little further...now THAT'S close to removing the VIRTUAL word from the REALITY word. This presents itself as real and just and important; all great things to be contained in a write. Very nicely done! take care...dan

This is a very strong showing...I enjoyed it. I was wondering if you do any other kind of writing? Don't get me wrong, I really love your poetry, but I can't help thinking your imagery and candid style could work really well in a short story or something.

Always keep turning corners for we never know what is around them...sometimes pain allows us to just be in the moment ...
