The "Lawn"

I'm okay, holding it in

Keeping myself together

Distracted by surroundings

A breeze blowing in the trees

Clouds in the sky, a bright sun

The green grass beneath my feet.

But then I see the faces

People I love, family

Friends, the tears, the memories

Start to flood into my mind

Finding escape through my eyes

Until I can cry no more.
