My heart is too full.
Thoughts overflow;
the most painful spilling out of
the corners of my eyes.
A moment of release
but not nearly enough.
There's only so many times
that I can insist I'm Fine
before my smile fades and breaks
And the cracking of my voice
echoes the sound of my life
as it falls apart.
piece. by. piece.
And even with
my eyes leaking
my voice breaking
my cheeks fresh, raw pink
I'm still unseen.
I'm still me.
