fire burns from the outside in.
the pain is gaping and life is hard
still alive - she screams
there must be more than this
she walks into a store
looking for that high
a dozen shopping bags in hand -she dreams
there must be more than this
she cuts and dyes her hair
manicures her nails
covers up her beauty - and prays
there must be more than this
water wraps around her
in a tunnel she tries to fight
swalled up by pride - She cries
there must be more than this
she walks into a room
silence stills her heart
a 1000 friendly eyes peered out at her-and yell
THERE IS MORE THAN THIS

Nice poem Sher. There totally is more but its sometimes hard to see when we get so wrapped up in our lives and forget to look outside of ourselves. Thanks for the reminder to do that looking and seek out those other things.
