Maybe?

by WanderingShade   Nov 16, 2014


Maybe it was all a lie?
The smiles do feel forced,
and the tears still well up behind closed doors.

Maybe I was just fooling myself?
Just trying to will it true,
and watching as it crumbles as soon as no one is there.

Maybe I'm still broken?
The masks have returned,
and my heart still shatters every time I'm alone with my thoughts.

    Well that's unfortunate. Ugh, to realize that all the progress that you THOUGHT you've made in feeling better and becoming better isn't exactly true. The saying "Fake it til you make it" came to mind as I was reading this poem - and apparently the poet has yet to really 'make it'.../:
    But time helps, time always helps.
    It's a very sad but good read!
