Every

By Alyssa Brown

I can paint a smile on my face
to make everyone’s day
Even though my heart is broken
I try not to show it all the time
Sunny days full of tears
Everything’s backwards here
And the real world some call reality
I call it fantasy
I guess everything happens for one reason
Some say I got my head in the clouds
And I need to come back down
To earth
But I don’t want to because
Where I’m at now is
Is one step closer to where I’m supposed to be.
