I am at battle,
have you noticed at all,
when walking down a hallway,
the barren expression that turns to a smile,
when interactions are needed.
It works for brief minutes,
like getaways,
a descending reality that never … lands,
keeps me suspended,
so I can survive,
so I can make it through the day.
Please don’t look for me alone,
let that peace remain a facade,
my marble castle,
my wax paper offering a translucent
image whom defines how I might need to appear;
satisfied,
content,
confident,
moving forward, always moving toward
the next goal,
that opportunity that allows my life
to have some identity.
Have I told anyone I am in a constant battle?
