Unraveling

Hiding behind a fake smile,
nothing but an act,
life is nothing but a miserable act
at who's better at pretend
and not showing how they feel.

"Stand strong in your beliefs
and always say what you feel"
are hard words to follow
when your world is shattering
and you have nothing to hold onto.

Constant uncertainty,
unraveled strings tattered
by the raging storms that hit
like the constant roaring waves,
leaving nothing in their wake.
