Heavy hearted.

Your heart feels as though it'll sink to your stomach.

So many emotions weighing it down.

Soon it gets hard to breathe.

Choking on the lumps in your throat.

You know that a tear could pop up any moment.

But all you do is smile.

No one sees behind the mask.

So all you have to do is keep up the act.

No one has to see the cracks in your heart that appear.

They can just see the armor that you diguise yourself with.

Let all of them stare.

But you know that when you're alone,

You'll sob.

And no one can stop you.

Some things are better held in than out. 

Walking the lone streets.

Wondering how everyone does it.

How everyone has such heartache,

And they conceal it so well all of the time.

You have to try to stitch your heart up every night

And always fail.

Why is so easy for them

But so impossible for you?

But you still have the biggest,

Fakest smile 

That you can have.

Maybe,

Someday,

The smile will be real.

But for now,

Smile anyway. 

Because you never know when your last smile will be.

Your heart might be lighter.

Human dignity + compassion = Peace.
