Plane Crash

Blank eyes with so much

behind them

A one way mirror

I can see everything

but you cannot see me

Every time I turn my neck

it breaks and shatter into small fragments

and it hurts with every breath I take

It's not an injury that I can put a bandaid on

No kiss to help the booboo

Everything isn't OK

Strap me to the polygraph machine

Hook up my thoughts

but you still won't be able to figure out what's wrong

The sadness that taunts me lingers inside me

I did not invite it

I beg for it to leave

I put on my false face for the world and when I go home

the mask drops and the monster underneath is released

I need to find control

to feel the happiness I lost so long ago

but the plane just keeps crashing

over and over again
