Distant Shores
Sail away to distant shores
and other worlds beyond your thoughts
Enter in, forgotten times
to greet the self that does not hide
Strip away the fake veneer
the face of cheer that masks your pain
silently accepting all
the hidden parts you’ve yet to change

Thoughts
Nothing to say today. I’ve used up all my word allocation. Time for a lie down.
