My Pieces Are Slowly Coming Back Together

And so it was, but no one noticed...

I broke down without a sound, screaming and crying inside,

I broke without my eyes failing,

I broke down smiling outside,

Snapped wearing my best clothes

I broke down, but I showed the best attitude,

I broke down while giving others encouragement and advice,

I broke as they heard me sing, converse and cheerfully toast.

I broke without anyone knowing, in complete silence,

I broke down in the shower, squeezing my face on the pillow, in the solitude of my room, seeking refuge in solitude, crying in a corner of the house for no one to see a strong and brave man crumble...

But my pieces are slowly coming back together, because I always could, and I always will..
