Smile
there are moments
when You
shine that white hard smile
and ruin the Armageddon
that sits inside my chest
threatening to break it all
but even telling you this now
know that it’s not your job
this issue has been here
since that old woman broke
the person I was supposed to be
this is on me

Wow. I feel the wrenching of the wreckage and love the conclusive “I will handle it” stance. I love that the poem starts with a smile. I think it ends with one too.
