Janette

There's a thousand petty secrets,

In this one pathetic mind.

The question is, what will you do,

In order to continue trying. 

Some people just grow distant,

And cover with a mask.

Others lie right through their tears,

So they can do the task.

Look through this shining armour,

And give yourself a peak.

Your soul is completely shattered underneath.

Keeps playing hide- and- seek. 

A child on the inside.

No matter what they say.

I know that you've been forced to grow,

But now it's time to play. 

When will you see, that it's okay to cry?

You don't have to run,

You don't have to lie.

Things can get better, if only you'd try.

It flows beautifully. I enjoyed it thoroughly. A well written quatrain.

this is so good...love the philosophy....we hold back for many reasons, we subdue that child's spirit in us and grow old from worry, concern, painful memories...it is time to break free...to run to the home base with reckless abandon...laugh, cry and love like a child again.

All my titles are dedicated to the people who have inspired me to write the poems, apart from one which is published on here. In this particular poem, it was a person, a Janette, who has been the one to uplift my spirit. All I have done is put her motivation, help and care into a poem. Thank you for the reviews. Take care.

One of my fav. verses:

"There's a thousand petty secrets,
In this one pathetic mind.
The question is, what will you do,
In order to continue trying... "

Seemed, even the world you've captured in such lines. Your thoughts're pretty productive & have some kinda potential -- a momentum -- to uplift drawn spirits, & lead 'em to anew array of lit. Quite intriguing to read your words. It's hard to fathom one's spirit but you surely volume the depth of universe... via words. Furthermore, your titles're pretty "unique" which makes me think that you writing such writes for someone or may be, "to" someone/something for taking 'em to the top, but still.. am not sure. If ever I could have few words with ya.. then would absolutely like to know the realism of your titles for sure.
