emotionally exhausted,
stressed beyond belief,
my sanity shatters,
shards of glass pierce my soul.
i am wrecked.

memories echo,
taunting me, haunting me,
shredding my flesh
but i never bleed.
i’m faking it.

i’m fine, i’m fine,
i’m fucking fine.
stop asking me,
i’ll only lie.
i smile pretty.

when it hurts,
when i’m crushed,
i’ll keep going
as i must.
i’m the rock.

staying strong for others
is what i do.
i keep it together
so they can all fall apart.
i’m broken too.
