Steady hand, don't sneeze
Paint over the cracks,

Better insane
Then falling apart
Cover up the tears
Scars disappear
Under layers of fear
Don't dig deep.
Will shut down,
Shut you out.
Keep back
Don't catch the disease I keep.
An artist's hand paints the mask
Ready to slip
Shatter like glass
that pierces the skin
don't look too hard
My eyes will open
You will see
That this is just
An attempt
My hope
Of putting on

My Brave Face

Stop, think, proceed,
Steady hand, don't sneeze
Paint over the cracks,
Fix the smile.
Better insane
Then falling apart
Cover up the tears
Scars disappear
Under layers of fear
Don't dig deep.
Will shut down,
Shut you out.
Keep back
Don't catch the disease I keep.
An artist's hand paints the mask
Ready to slip
Shatter like glass
that pierces the skin
don't look too hard
My eyes will open
You will see
That this is just
An attempt
My hope
Of putting on

Being an artist, I really identify with this poem on 2 levels. Excellent.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
