Watching time pass through a foggy lens
Going mute on memories
Writhing in pain and agony
I thought this was worth the wait
I walk with a glimmering gold
Crinkles adorning my eyes
A few having a glance of my heart
A misty wistful wish it is
Muffled sounds which don’t carry
Sinking as I try to pretend
I forgot how I did it
Do I snort, or do my eyes become small?
Or they just brighten up
Is it loud or a silent one?
As I have become now
It mocks the anguish I feel
I sit alone and brood
I wish I had it to see
If it was for real.
This poem is heart wrenching in such a familiar way. Trying to remember how to put on the mask of “fine”. Great job.
Thanks a lot
