At The Home Poem by Russel Grawols

In Public
A performance we all know
Keeping steady and on the surface
Calm and Ready
Yet within, your mind is troubled

You don't say a word
No need to be heard
You'll let everyone enjoy themselves
While you think away the day

You can handle it
Right?
You can contain it
Right?

As soon as you walk in the door
It all comes crashing
You were stable before
Now everything is a blur

Your mind aches
Your spirit breaks
All the troubles collide at once

You'll recover
You'll be strong
By this time, tomorrow
You'll stand tall
Back from that dark fall

You're a phoenix
Reborn
You're a mess
Forlorn

Yet some will hear you
Some can break through
They will lend a hand
And get you through this land
