Image for the poem head above water

head above water

Walking around like nothing happened.
Faking a smile at every turn.
Showing a brave face,
When everyone is breaking down around me.
Yet deep inside I'm drowning.
I'm just keeping my head above water.

I've hide away my tears.
Walked across my ocean of fears.
My pain, no one else sees.
I've stood my ground,
I've let everyone find shelter under my wing
What they don't know is,
Under this tough guy act
Under these cleverly painted walls.
I'm cracking apart inside.
Under this bold stance,
I'm drowning deep inside.
My heavy despairing heart is pulling me down.
Dragging around my sinking stone.
But I keep walking around like nothing happened.
Faking a smile at every turn.
The tough guy act.
Yet deep inside i know,
I'm just keeping my head above water.
Author's Note
On the 18 someone broke into my house and stole my TV,laptop cellphones and other house appliances...
And I've been struggling ever since trying to keep my head above water

I'm going to be of DU until I get back on my feet
