»Sad Christmas Time«

by Maviyo Nkosi, October 5, 2010

Christmas time came
for some to share it with their families
for some to share with walls

Some long for it to come,
some wish it never came
Christmas causes tears,
tears of joy and tears of pain

Some use it to reunite,
some to drift others away,
some are overwhelmed,
some are scared,
some feel neglected

Christmas time came
for some to put the pain away
but for some to cause pain to others

Paperwork a refuge to one fragile soul, / multiple codes and undefined standards a norm to one unclassified routine, / emotions flee from one numb heartbeat, / mindset a mystery to what they considered a cagey lifestyle, / beauty no longer fazes his needs, / actions firmly fixed on a harsh yet  sign in to read more »
