I know what you’re thinking
you tried to be happy
you think you can trick your mind
but your whole body is shivering
from lying
you can feel it coming
those sad waves
like a tsunami
the birds flew away
so why aren’t you
taking shelter if your wings are broken
smiling and pretending
that you’re not indeed drowning
I’d rather learn how to swim
maybe I can teach you too.
t.l.
