Air cold
Breathe visible
Sounds dormant
Thoughts grow loud
The cold cuts,
Sharp and deep
Reminding the pain lives
No matter how suppressed
Feelings pour out
What was unseen
Secrets, lies, dreams
Now lay exposed
Conflict settles in
True discovery
Or another masquerade
Choices pending
Actions frozen
Fix it
Make it stop
Cover up
Pretend it’s not happening
Just keep going.
