Genre: Sad
Pain
by Sophia Margulies
Tears stream down my face
As I breathe heavily
My eyes stare into my reflection
Not a blink
Tear drops roll slowly
Then all at once
I grab the counter hoping for some support
But end up losing my strength
And falling
I sink until I am having trouble breathing
I gasp for air
But I end up breathless
My heart pounds so loudly
My ears ring
I close my eyes
That is when the flashbacks occur
I see the fights
I hear the words
I see my hope diminishing
I put a smile
Because that’s all that’s left of me
My eyes shine
Not from happiness
But from the acceptance of one thing
Pain
Something unfixable
I tape up the fractures dug deep into my skin
But tape is replaceable
With new wounds
That can now only scar
Maybe one day
I will be happy
This life full of maybes
When will I finally
Smile
And
Mean
It
