I hide my tears from this world,
For if I were to cry,
I would find myself with all my fears,
Behind my door tonight,
And so for this I keep my tears,
Buried in my heart ,
So that my fears won't find me weak,
And tear my mind apart,
I stay strong to keep them at bay,
And to keep from falling apart,
And so my tears will fly away,
And I will not take part.

In the Northwest region of Seattle Washington
There’s a homeless man, armed with a beer can
Trying to drink away war memories
Waiting for someone
Self-less enough to lend him an ear
He sits on the side of a Pizzeria on the corner of Queen Ann and Mercer
In a chair, they probably kick him out of after business hours
His skin
Has grown all too fond of the concrete beds that he rest his shell-shocked head on
His braggadocios body
rocks back and forth showing off to the world the only gifts war veterans ever receive
He addresses me, “Ey lil Bra, you got a dollar?”
Without even checkin my pockets I tell him, “I aint got it”.
Having anticipated this appointment he responds with,
“That’s fine, cause I really wanted a 20.”]]> 2021-01-27 17:06:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amberfriel/zcbtyavrcjjwr9b4/wish/1132691216 Rachel Nolt https://padlet.com/amberfriel/zcbtyavrcjjwr9b4/wish/1132713156 Instructions for a Bad Day

Ever come across something for the first time
Be it a person place or thing
They gave you an instant feeling of happiness
Made you glad to be alive
And eventually as time goes on the feeling gets weaker, and weaker, and weaker
And you don't know why
It's slowly becoming less exciting
And the whole time you're in denial about this decreasing value
And you know it in the back of your mind
That the feeling's fading away
And it's almost over]]> 2021-01-27 19:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amberfriel/zcbtyavrcjjwr9b4/wish/1133560061 Devynne Neville https://padlet.com/amberfriel/zcbtyavrcjjwr9b4/wish/1133866734 Michael Lee “Pass On”
