Breathe
Take a deep breath, so you don't fall.
Collapse at home, so they don't see you crawl.
Close off all perception, so you don't start to cry.
Don't let your mind wonder, so you don't start asking why.
Plaster on that smile, so others will not ask.
Do not say a word, so they can't see past your mask.
Repeat those calming words, so you can keep your cool.
Think before you act, so you don't look like the fool.
Write all your thoughts down, so no one will know.
Express what you're feeling here, so they're not what you show
