This pain smacks within me I burn from within like tilapia On the grill grate The world consumes me Piece by piece, roasted! But my face has to maintain An erratic smile I defend, “everything is ok” Until Someone sees it as it is— A necessary lie

A Necessary Lie
This pain smacks within me I burn from within like tilapia On the grill grate The world consumes me Piece by piece, roasted! But my face has to maintain An erratic smile I defend, “everything is ok” Until Someone sees it as it is— A necessary lie
It's hard to share my problems with people until they notice it.
