Cracks

Shhhh
Don't say it.
Be careful of your words.
Just cause your in pain
Doesn't mean it
Needs to be herd.
Others don't want to
Know about the darkness
You have inside,
The cracks on your spirit
That you plaster and hide.
Be strong.
Hold back your cries.
It's what adults do,
Smile and laugh.
Live in the lie.
Or else face the punishment
Of them running away.
That is until
You're better the next day.
