The Truant

Drawn towards the silence,
away from the noise -
both familiar and strange
And that creepy human voice
Some days are like that, I guess.

Days that go wrong without a reason.
Or good for that matter.
And you're left looking for logic,
Though you know it's just plain chatter.
Some days feel like that, I guess.

Feelings that run wild
All over your spectrum of emotions.
With, without, nowhere in between;
Sweetness and sadness in crazy proportions.
Some days seem that like that, I guess.

Things that seem one way
But may be completely different, altogether.
Like people interchanging roles -
Friend, foe, mother, father, brother.
Some people are like that, I guess.

For people to misunderstand
and believe they're right.
An excuse so (un)real
to withdraw outright.
To disappear forever..
..forever from sight
Yes, some people are like that, I guess.

To not look back or
give a second chance
To presume and prevail
with a rigid stance
To forget and forget
and assume no loss
Yes, some people are like that, I guess.

Still, when words fail
and people do too.
The mirror stares
at a defeated you.
There's more to it
than meets the eye.
For, mirrors tell
the sweetest lies.
Look-out for the sun
that soaks in white
Every evening...
and through the night
Then rises again..
..with glory afresh
Some days should be like that, I guess.

Take care K.
