Pasted Smile Poem by becca hansen

when you were in kindergarten
you could paste just about everything together
well, i feel like that sometimes
and i’m pasting on a smile

i have so much bottled up
i dont want anyone to see
i ignore everything that’s happened
i just fell it’s not worth while

if i could go back
to every time i covered up my feelings
i’d throw the paste away
along with all this pain

i would express what i really wanted
because now i see it’s not worth
not worth a second of my time
cause when you keep it....
NOTHING is what you will gain.
