I'm Fine

By Carly Floyd
12/27/09

For all the burdens layed on me by
Them I cannot bring
myself to let them see
my Pain.
I feel sad
almost always and yet I
hide it through shallow
smiles that don't
reach my eyes.
But they don't
notice because they don't want
to pretend their world
isn't perfect.
Even if they go through the
motions of asking what's
wrong, they don't want to
know.
They're fooling themselves.
So I only break down at
night, and the tears fall onto my
pillow and glue my eyes shut until
the morning when I put on my mask,
however fragile the disguise.
