I smile to hold back the cries I want to shout
I close so my eyes so the tears won’t come out
I say “I’m ok,”
Multiple times a day
So that just maybe I’ll believe myself and make others believe it too.
I pray to the angels above to guide me
In a direction that only they can see
But it leads down a dark cliff path
To where my demons awaken from my past
I am then standing at the edge with them whispering “just jump.”
I then take a breath with my arms spread wide
With just one step, I feel I have already died
But then I feel a lift off my feet and on to the wing
Of my angel who has come to save me
I then fly away from my nightmare that was my reality
I then smile without my fear
And open my eyes and cry no tears
I can look in the mirror every day
And finally say “I’m more than ok.”
Sometimes, you just have to trust fall
