you can always tell
when a machine's
broken downpeople are a bit more
difficultmaybe they're already
brokenor they're perfectly fine
you wouldn't know
cause they are better at hiding it
than a machinebut sometimes you just see
the way their smiles
don't reach the eyes anymore
or the sadness that clouds
over their lips
as they speakyou see
these are not easy
to spot
but sometimes,
if we look a little closer
even just for a fraction
of
a
secondwe catch
through the cracks
a glimpse
of the demons
they face
each night
