I wrote this about something a friend of mine said to me about how I hide my emotion, what do you guys think...
...
"behind these hazel eyes"
as I sit here feigning indifference, I know there's something more
it beats inside my still frail heart, less and less a chore
we all have places inside ourselves, but mine still shakes my soul
and whenever I try to let it out, it all reveals so droll
there beats a heart and lives a thought that does much more than's shown
but fear and doubt cloud my judgement and it all remains my own
so many spend their lives, searching for a perfect place to hide
and my place is right in front of you, behind these hazel eyes
in my days I've seen the failures of many, scared by loss and truth
but I've also seen that spark of inspiration, lying at the root
perhaps someday I'll show the world, this world inside myself
but for now I'll slide down in my chair, and leave my soul to shelf

"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
