JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT

If only,
at least sometimes,
I could hide how I feel,
not wear my emotions
on my sleeve
or on my face
and so plainly in view
of my friends
and anyone who happens
to pass me on the street
and see right into my heart
and what’s going on
inside of me,
whether happy or sad,
whether angry or glad.

But as the face I see
in the window
reflecting back at me,
I know for a fact
that that’s not to be.
For I am who I am,
no masks can I wear,
no way to hide the sadness
that sometimes begins
to overcome me.

Though I’ve tried
so very hard to hide it,
to bury it deep inside,
what’s there is there
and will always be
so much a very big
part of me.

But I’m still that child
of morning’s first light,
looking forward to the day
and unable to mask or hide
the wide range of emotions
stirring within my heart
and deep inside.

And I’ll linger here
at the window
for just another little while
reflecting on life
and what’s outside.
Just give me a moment
to get things in check
to summon the courage
to go outside
and inhale the day,
to find some friends
who can come out and play.
