Crashing Poem by Carrie Salazar

though i smile
im crying out inside
i try to make it seem like
everything is fine

i draw back into my shell
to hide and escape
to keep my heart from breaking any more than it has
to not have to deal with things

my life is crahsing
and i cant pick up the broken peaices
i dont know what to do
lord i need your help

my eyes are stained from crying
my heart hurts
im tired and weary
im so confused

lord please help me
im cryingout to you
carry me out of this
stuff that i am in and cant get out
