Each evening as the lights dim

                                                                                                       Consciousness unleashes its whim

Ever so thouroughly pervades the mind

                                                                                                       Supressed sorrow never left behind

Esteem demolished as doubt awakes

                                                                                                       Repressing dreams as the mind quakes

This pain, this agony reflexes well

                                                                                                       Attempts of happiness rarely prevail

This side of the Earth realigns with the sun

                                                                                                        The doubts yet weigh no less than a ton

Finding the courage to reopen the door

                                                                                                        Present a smile never a sore

Forced hospitality seizes the day

                                                                                                        Deceptions always masks it away
