I hide the broken glass that holds tears on the edge
Behind the layers of mascara
"I'm fine"
I lie
Letting the shards slowly fall away
One at a time
When the mascara comes off
Faster and faster
Until there is none left
Another shield forms
In the morning
With cracks left over from the day before
Until it all falls apart
Again
It's okay
I'm fine
Well
I will be fine
I hope
