Holiday tears mixing with familiar fears...
It has been thus year after year;
coming close but never near enough
to feel the Christmas cheer,
to play the part so it appears
i am thankful for what i have
and just what is that?...
A handful of air,
illusions i to try grasp
friends and family disappear into the mist
as i shake my head and wipe a tear
uttering a bitter laugh
Misconceptions leading to deception
to keep themselves aloof and above it all
lest the proof determines a different truth
and they realize they missed the call
For they cannot see me
they don't even see themselves
living a life they think is right
leaving broken toys lying on the shelf,
a present never opened...
