Your lips motioned "I'm ok",
but no sound was heard.
Droplets fell to the ground,
as tears ran down your face.
The floor was dry.
A slow smile streched across your face,
as muscles tensed around your mouth.
Eyebrows raised with intensity as a pair of hills form.
And as you open your mouth wide and prepare fo-
Pause.
As I approach the stage to take a closer look.
I remove the painful needles holding your eyebrows in place,
and silence all the people who have told you how you should look.
Your eyebrows stiffen as they raise into a peak.
I look down at your mouth,
and remove the needles pinning up a smile.
Instantaneously the corners of your mouth drop like weights.
There's no need to force a smile for anyone.
I gently brush off your tears,
and push away all the people who have told you "Men don't cry".
I whisper in your ear "there's no reason to lie about your feelings, just be yourself."
And as these words pierce through the wall of lies,
You shout "I'm not ok",
as tears trickle down your face,
and with an intense look you scream.
Everything comes crashing down,
as you stare into the floor, sobbing, I walk over and hold you, telling you
"Everything is ok."
