Out there beyond the horizon
There lies another tomorrow
Again I’ll hide my wounded pride
And disguise all my sorrow
Reach deep down
Into my bag of tricks
I’ll pull out a smile
We’ll see how long it sticks
Who would understand
All I’m feeling inside
And who would even care
For me to trust and confide
I’ll live in solitude
Safe within myself
I’ll depend on no one
Up here on my shelf
But what’s this I see
Extended to me an open hand
Maybe I too must
Learn to understand

Yes we must reach out if we want to progress - I do like this AP
Thanks Michael. Reaching out is the first step of many. ; )
Good write AP. Yet if some can't be bothered to understand us, why should we bother to understand them?!
And there be someone else to understand. Understanding begins within the heart. ; )
Very relatable, enjoyed and resonated with this! Thanks for sharing this piece.

"Reach deep down

Yes, we play tricks to ourselves and to others to pretend we are fine, to hide what inside.
"I’ll live in solitude
Safe within myself"
This really gets my never, painful.
Very well expressed.
Thanks m&m. Yes, many times people aren't looking for sympathy, but just to know that someone understands and can relate to what they're going through.
Very good write, that open hand may show the way to a better life, grab it with both of your hands.
Thanks Goldfinch. So true. ; )
Sometimes we just have to take a chance and let people in.
Very true lasergraph. Thanks for reading and commenting. ; )

Welcome
Seemed many of us wrote poems like this, brilliant piece!
Thanks pb. ; )
Yes, I get it and I think that if we find things wrong with others chances are we have wrong things with us too. If they can not understand us maybe is because we are hiding inside us. Beautiful writing as always. I understand you and love the way you write.
Thanks for reading and your compliment malu, when I write, I try to write it as if I'm speaking the words to hear how it sounds. If it flows smoothly. Usually I'm successful, but sometimes it needs a little tweaking. Thanks. ; )
