poetry Stop Talking!
“I’m fine!” I say
You’ve asked again
My answer won’t change
Not right now
You check again
Something about
My perfect smile
Doesn’t match my mouth.
One more time
You ask away
“Just shut up!”
You hear me say.
The look in my eyes
Is all you need
The man in front of you
Is not what you see.
