I, Too

I, too, have been broken.

Look at me
I smile and speak kindly.
I rejoice in your joy.
I have compassion
For the troubled.
I'm happy wihen I'm with you.

But it's a facade.
I can hide my heart.
I can rejoice in your joy.
And pretend to be happy.
But once I leave
The sorrow follows me.

One day I won't be.
I'll be happy all the time
And with me and you.

I, too, am broken.
