*Smiling
April 29, 2015
Inner demons strangle me
torment, taunt, torture
I plaster a smile on my cracking face
I show people what will be bearable for them to handle
Which isn’t much, most are weak, too frail to hear the truth.
So I sit and smile
My brain, my blood, my heart slowly rot and spoil from the
spotlight melting my plastic skin.
