Hidden Messages Hiding Messages

Like an incantation the lights flicker

Smiley faces pasted on frowns like a sticker

Wild hearts beating to the sounds of a drum

Building up resentment like tension in a gun

Holding onto peace til' the sun does fade

Finally having freedom from pain in the shade

Confusion at these words that constantly digress

For the truth hidden in plain sight interests

Sometimes the mystery is not what we seek

But how it's message was hidden vivid yet oblique

Yes. I agree. :) We don't always look for problems. What we want is answers though.
