The Corner

Ever present and ever listening,
where stories never go untold,
where stories never go unheard,

full of truths and lies of before.
A place where the fear to speak

is lost to the heavy burden of facts.
Facts of life and facts of actions,
actions that can't ever be changed,
or forgotten, but through their release in the corner.

A place where our common weakness
may come to the fore, without the
 usual embarrassment that one may bare.
Where your struggles become similar to mine,
and you no longer feel alone in the world.

With a cup of tea or a can of beer,
the stories will go on as they have before.
The corner is listening, so do not fear,
your words won't go farther than
that door over there!
