The Show Must Go ON

My stomach twists in knots, rolling in on itself as I bring the kettle to a rolling boil.

A drop of honey slowly drips down the side of the mug, sticky and hot.

My tears are thick and they stick to the corners of my bloodshot eyes-honey yellow on the drug that helps you smile when all you feel is sorrow.

My fingers shake to the offbeat rhythm of my heart as I type the words "I'm fine."

They are tired of playing the mime but my aching heart knows

The show must go on.

I haven't posted any work on here in a very very long time and I miss having a free space to share my work. I have taken time away to improve my writing so I hope you enjoy!
