Ali K Poet Dramatic Monologue

My Loss

I felt her grown inside me
I felt her disappear
I wasn't really aware
It certainly wasn't clear

I felt him grow inside me
I knew that he was strong
I thought nothing could harm him
Nothing could go wrong

I wish someone could have told me
How much this would really hurt
I never got to meet them
Never got to sing them goodnight

But there is nothing that can be said
Nothing to heal this pain
It's all over with 
I guess I'll start again

Put on my smile, my make up
Hide my sad expression 
And no one will know the difference 
It's nothing but a mission

Do people even notice
See the glint go from my eye 
Do they notice I laugh less
Do they notice when I cry 

Of course not 
I'm a good actress 
I play my role so well

So here I will go again
Start the day anew
Put on my smile, my make up
And no one will ever know.
What's happening inside my heart and my mind
I will turn my cheek again
Leave it all behind.
