Meh
I could still taste
The salt on my lips hours later
That being the only reminder
Of the terrible thing that had happened
But no one will ever know
I must keep my strong reputation up
I checked my makeup before heading out the door
To go to my diet group
Salty chips, my guilty pleasure

Sometimes
Crying is so
Great
Other times
It *****
Because sometimes
It means you’re really happy
But other times it means you’re really sad
Sometimes the tears flow
Gently down your face
From good news
Or laughter
Other times the tears flow
Like rivers
Unending
From pain
Or suffering

HMM
The best part
Of life is
Being included enough
To not be aloud to
Complain
But Excluded enough
To Feel Perpetually
Unwanted
Meh

My song
My life
My house
My job
My tv
My husband
My family
My books
My mind
My lies
My problems
My depression
My loneliness
My anxiety
My tears
My screams
My problem.

In the dark
Of night
After hours of
Silent noise
Only when the
Tears stop
And the silent lurches
Cease I
Can hear my heart
Pound
Reminding me
I am
Human

Yet somehow
Alone
With only rhythmic
Thudding as a friend
Or foe.

— The End —
