A Poem a Day

Keeps the heartache at bay

Faking It

Today I dressed up my depression as happiness, until it truly became that.

Until I was wearing an old skin that I wasn’t sure still fit, and it did. 

It stuck to me like giggles caught in my throat 

A smile bloomed in disbelief but nurtured in warmth,

my cheeks frozen in place with a shit eating grin that was reminiscent of a youth I forgot I possessed. I’m obsessed…with living again.
