seek

A Poem by Joey Martinez

Expensive shoes worn on the feet to deceive the attention from the face that's been beat with mental defeat 
Forming a materialistic habit to counteract the tragic inner battles that rage within
Acting as if its a sin to seek help before the curtain closes and the credits read FIN
Hoping everyone ignores the smile that you put together with pieces of denial 
And no matter how many miles you walk with those expensive shoes
You cant run away from the bruises of the past
You cant last if you decide to keep the mask 
Reveal your true nature and warm the glacier that you call a heart
Because acting numb will only take you back from the start 
Its okay to be the gray in a colorful world 
With help from others you'll break the shell and blossom into the pearl you're meant to be
Seek the help and you'll be free
