Picket Fence

Behind the white picket fence 

You can almost hear the silence 

Smiling facades trying to hide

What really is under deep inside

Visual portrayal of truth withheld

Hoping the truth can be quelled

Quiet words that are never said

Only spoken by the living dead

Shattered dreams never told

So their untruth can be sold

Pain of others kept buried deep

So they may peacefully sleep
