When it`s too much
When sadness and sorrow
grief and pain
are the only thing I see
when it`s too much of that sort of dark feelings
when I`m too serious
my playful inner child
is calling out
tickling and tackling
playing prankster with me
smooth my soul
until I smile
until I laugh
burst open my shield of defence
and at the bottom of my frozen heart
comes a dreadful, screaming cry
and I`m released
for a moment
silence
