This smile
on my face grows weary
when hiding the imperfect emotions inside
There are times
I want to be angry
I want to scream
I want to lay fetal and hide
My skin
may be of brick and mortar
an impenetrable resilient wall
The trials
the tests
the injustice I face
endure them to crumble and fall
Full
of faith in my heart
a safe place
where evil once crawled
Yet
there are days
I do break
sins I can’t forsake
my existence continuously flawed
