Why do I hide the pain
until I simply
can't look away?

It's buried deep
each time I grab a screen or
hide away behind a smile.
It's okay to weep. I try.

My head screams
different sirens
leading me in each direction until
I'm lost inside my mind.

I know my gut when it drops
but my hearts soft pitter-patter
downs out in all the
noise.
