Collapsing

A poem

By Mary LouisePublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

The tears that stream down my face

Are raw.

The happiness I portray is collapsing.

Just like my mind collapses with devil thoughts

Failing to allow me to breathe.

I see so much pain

So much sadness

In that face.

However it is painted so well even tears

Take a lot to drain

Slowly smuggling away.

Revealing true

Eyes.

The eyes which only gets faced with a mirror

Eyes which show the real human being.

The eyes which show a real illusion.
