Klutz

Concealed behind my smile. 
Stare into my eyes for a while. 
Feeling so unstable. 
Gripping on the edge of the table. 
Life pulling me under. 
How long to go? 
I wonder. 
Stitches pulled from cuts. 
Healed before but I'm a klutz. 
My emotions change like the weather. A day like this I wanted never. 
To forget my past. 
That's all I ask. 
Rid me of this heavy burden. 
Open up to the world, pull the curtain. Let it all out tonight. 
Don't just give up the fight. 
Pull through all the tough time. 
Then you will be truly mine.
