Picture perfect

in #poetry8 years ago (edited)

We hide behind pictures and masks,
Looking perfectly happy,
As if nothing is ever bad,
Smiles on our faces,
Holding each other close,
In our house so clean and comfy,
Friends all around saying how we are so lucky,
Kids playing and running with friends,
Everything on that New Years was pretty grand.

Little did they all know we had just argued,
I had tears down my face from our yelling match.
Feeling heart broken from the words that were said.
We decided that we would finish this night and went on to pretend that we were happy and took a perfect picture.
Life is not always the way we see it on others pages or pictures but looking back at this photo I am happy we smiled.
