Between the Cracks

A smile which

hides a thousand lies.

Dark glasses that

cover sorrowful eyes.

A life which has

become a charade,

an act that has

to be portrayed.

Hiding behind

a different mask

to hide from questions

that might be asked.

The person that

you have become

is not one that can

easily be undone.

Not brave enough

to face the facts

but happy to slip

between the cracks.
