The Other Side
The Darkness That Lurks Behind The Smile
The Other Side
Disclaimer: This poem is dark and it deals with mental health issues. It can be triggering to some. Reader discretion is advised.
The Other Side is where it’s safe.
The grass is greener
and the air is sweeter.
I heard a promise
from a person I love,
that the other side is safe -
safe for kids like I!
The moon is up high
on the other side.
It shines so bright -
oh, what a sight!
It provides light.
It takes away the fright!
But only if you are
on the other side.
Here, where we are,
the moon is gone.
The shadows prevail
and evil is found.
I wish I am on the other side
with the person I love.
For the grass is greener,
on the other side.
