Draw The Curtain (a poem)

I draw the curtain on misery

to keep that imposter at bay.

Refusing to allow pain its' entrance

I keep them both shaded away.

 

Do not even let them step in

no matter what excuse they use

I've hung blinds on my heart

holding back their related blues.

 

Was a time I knew them well

way back, quite a few years.

They had a real joyous ride

but all I got were tears.

 

Finally, got them out of my life

and this I know for certain;

I'll keep pain shaded away

and on misery, I'll draw the curtain.
