In my anger

I broke my "happy" face

Now

so deep in sadness

I’m not sure if I can put the piece back together again

What do I do?

I need that face to tell a convincing lie

If I try to glue the pieces back

people might see the cracks

But letting it heal on it's own will take too long

they'll know something is up

And even if it does heal

it will be so

fragile

I could try to avoid it

Put on my “concentration” face

But they're always asking questions

That one would break also

What do I do?

WHAT DO I DO?

I used to think I was so strong

But even the strongest substance can be broken

by itself



Once again from the lowest point in my life. I'm glad I can look back at this and see how much I've grown.

Very good poem. I really liked it. You should write more. Be happy that something good came out of that time. In fact one can be productive as a writer when one is going through strong emotions,this poem seems one example. There are many writers,especially poets,who write poetry out of real life incidents or experiences of their life,often sad. Check this link.
