Blinders on

Dedicated to those who knew...............



Life is not always as it seems
Appearances on the outside
Mask so completely
What is hidden deep inside.

But the truth does peek through
If only in little rays
It is there, right before them
Waiting to be seen

They darken those blinds
In hopes to block out
What they do not want to see
What they do not want to believe

They stay inside
Behind closed doors
Because they are afraid
Of what they might hear

They ask no questions
Just nod and smile
You see the sadness in their eyes
They know..........
