Inside...

I struggle.

I struggle to keep a straight face when inside, I’m holding back a laugh.

I struggle to keep a smile on my face when inside, I’m holding back a sigh.

I struggle to keep a tear from falling when inside, I’m holding back a sob.

I struggle to keep my emotions intact when inside, they’re falling apart.

I struggle to keep my heart from hurting when inside, it’s already broken.

I struggle to keep on living when inside, I’m already dead.

I struggle.
