The Feeling Within

She sits there,
drinking and eating.

She looks happy,
and she is dressed so beautifully
you would almost think
she is a model.

Something inside her is dying.
Something is screaming.

No….
something is not right.

She looks around
to compose herself,
but no-
the masks keep slipping.

No,
the tears won’t come.

She is drowning.

She wonders
how long
she has to endure
this heavy feeling.
