am tired
I got dark patches around my eyes,
gotten from the sleepless night,
every time the morning comes,
I put on a heavy mask,
smired with lipstick and colorful makeup,
just to mislead everyone,
from seeing a broken heart,
wearing a fake smile,
just to hide all the pain,
that's what I was taught at a very young age,
by my self,
behind closed doors,
when no one was around,
while other kids played with toys,
I played with life challenges that earned me a clown of maturity,
at a glimpse of time,
hope is what I seek for and love is what I opt to embrace.
