please don’t ask me how i am

cause i’m scared that i might cry

all i really need is a hug

and i don’t want to have to lie

i'll try and smile, pretend i’m fine

but inside i’m breaking apart

my stiff upper lip will tremble and quiver

as the tears spill from my heart

please don’t ask me how i am

i’m not good and i need some space

i don’t want you to see the lines

that my tears have left upon my face

i’ll pretend i’m fine and try to smile

as i slowly crumble deep inside

and with pieces still falling around me

i will find somewhere to hide

sad poetry
