We Break

breathing 
i say i'm breathing, i appear to be, 
but they do not see, they cannot ever

aching
i am not aching, i say that i'm not, 
and they do not see that i really am

everyone
feels the way i do. we hide everything, 
inside our heads and our hearts

buliding
it all just builds up until that crucial moment, 
when it snaps, and we break
