No More

I no longer see reason
to deny the pain that lurks
in these words or to fight the
tears that struggle to come.
I no longer have the strength
to act like my world is great
or to paste that smile on my face.
I can’t.
My words are even more a
scrambled mess than before,
like alphabet soup kids so much
enjoy.

The painted smile hides a thousand emotions. Beautiful flow to your words.
