Sad Quotes

Smallest Signs

You can see how broken people are
in the little things they do.
How they stop looking
before they cross the street,
how they break eye contact
a little too soon,
how they drop their smiles
a little to quickly,
the way we keep our bracelets in place
and pause before saying yes,
we're fine.
There are always the smallest signs
that we aren't okay,
but we desperately want you
to see them.
