Smoke + Mirrors

Updated: Aug 19, 2019


 

Fake.

My brain. I need a break.

Fake.

The time. Like rabbit. I’m late.

Fake.

My mouth. Words hidden. Padlocked.

Fake.

The pen. Trail off. Mind block.

Fake.

My pinky. Broken promise. Broken trust.

Fake.

My eye. Salty Tears. Turn to rust.

Fake.

My smile. Painted on. No art.

Fake.

My feelings. Cortisol numb. Fall apart.

Fake.

My feelings. Like you care. If I hurt.

Fake.

My smile. Make progress. Revert.

Fake.

My eye. No sight. No future.

Fake.

My pinky. Still broke. Please suture.

Fake.

The pen. A new thought. A new soul.

Fake.

My mouth. Came out wrong. Damage control.

Fake.

The time. Clock who. Tick when.

Fake.

My brain. Swallow pill. Again.
