Should I paper over cracks
Or let them open wide
Shall I bottle all my secrets
And place them to one side
Should I stay above the ground
Or welcome the abyss
Shall I aim at my life's target
And throw daggers 'til I miss
Should I open up the windows
Or keep the curtains tight
Shall I cover up the bruises
And pretend that I'm alright
So should I paper over cracks
Or hide within my head
Shall I never speak another word
And write it down instead

@leelee101 I don't think it's gloomy, It's what most people do every day, but don't even notice. A really thoughtful piece of work :)
@Weirdwolf most would not even stop for long enough to think about writing it down, oblivious to their own realities.
@ckahn Thank you. But if u carry on, I'll be over there for that moonlit wine! And don't think for a minute that I won't... π
Ahhh! If only! I would love to have my Opuss friends in the flesh. I'd pour you one of my husbands fine brews ( he's a brewmaster) and we could toast us all!
