Sareeah Keelyn - Blind Sighted

I must put on a good show
No one seems to know
The pain that plagues my mind
Their thoughts not unkind
but unseeing
Twin of my soul
I need you to help me stay whole
Alone I won't survive
but with you by my side
I might come out alive
I've nowhere to hide
I'm tired of performing
to crowds
My background music far too loud
Stress in every cell
I feel evilly be spelled
Escape not close enough
I'm no diamond in the rough
Not near as much tough
Ask and you shall receive
I feel need to grieve
over loss of your concern
This thought you did not earn
I needed you to pry
to keep a keen eye
Upon my being
You are supposed to be more than seeing
I am enveloped in fear
You are so far away from near
Longer than I can withstand
has been our meeting
none too grand
A play of words
is not always deeply heard
Strain with eye and ear
to me
Whom I hope you hold dear
No selfish pride spurs
This beggars plea
Only my need of thee
to rid my heart and mind
of emotional burrs
