laughing place, crying place

Everybody needs to make: A laughing place, A crying place- Everybody needs a secret space To release their joys and tears. A child's world overflows with joys And is no stranger to showing sorrows; A teenager's world becomes so muddled That these freedoms fade away; And an adults world banishes them completely- But everybody needs to have: A laughing place, A crying place- Somewhere other than within. A blank white page makes a good escape- A lauging place, A crying place- Where no one else needs to see Unless they are shown. A poet shares their private space- Their lauging and their crying place With others who don't quite know How to create their own- How to vent their joys and sorrows- Or don't have a voice strong enough to be heard. So here I share my laughing pace- My crying place- And lend myself to the world.
