Always hidden behind smiles tears, in silence, at night pain, that dulls, and resurfaces, dulls and resurfaces randomly triggered, you’d think, heartbreak is more mental than physical, but, I can feel my heart hurting, when I think of you memories that have faded with time, memories, that come alive, You are that constant ache, in my heart that constant ...

Almost dawn Unsure of what I want I’m getting up to leave Picking up pieces of me That lay scattered On your bedroom floor Words from you Penetrated this wall I built Brick by brick I’m easily shattered By your smooth talk I take leave of my intelligence As you stoke the fires of my ego The need to ...

If you see me strong, Know that I have fought battles no one knows about, In darkness, and in pain, I have wrestled, often in vain Questioned existence Eyes blurred with tears No one will see Strong women, come out from their lair, all put together, No reflection of the turmoil within, Laughing, opinionated, smart Changing, leading, keeping everything ...
