Breaking

I'm breaking,
Once intricate stitching,
Falls apart effortlessly,
Letting lose years of emotions,

I've kept it hidden,
Deep inside,
Not letting it surface,
Not letting myself break,

Keeping others happy,
Even if,
It's breaking me inside,

Let no one see your breaking,
Push it all down,
Deep,
Deep,
And even deeper,
So deep until even you can't see them,

Forget you're breaking,
Act fine,
Show all emotions,
Except for the ones,
That shows you are flawed.

Shut your mouth,
Dry your tears,
Smile that smile,
That you've practiced,
Hundreds of times in the mirror.

Fool them,
They'll never see,
Through this false reality,
Never see how you're,
Breaking.
