I pick it up, it’s a habit I know
I put it down, it’s only a show
I pick it up, I gaze through the smiles
I put it down, for me it’s been such a while
I pick it up, I want to feel better
I put it down, it’s all I can weather
I pick it up, I’m desperate for love
I put it down, all I feel is not enough
I pick it up, just one last time with hope
I put it down, the last time, it’s all a joke
I pick it up, this time my own eyes
I put it down, seeing beyond all their lies

I’ll definitely take you up on that suggestion! If it’s alright, I’d like to withhold my name as many of these poems are quite personal and I’d like to maintain some anonymity
