sew on smiles with
threads of disenchantment
pulling up the corners tight
pin the grin on the donkey
in place
with sickly yellow pushpins
of dread
show your best have a great day
thank you for coming face
fingers trembling over the
cash register buttons
and behind your eyes
the sound of dentist drills
and chalkboard screeches
remember your time in the forest
with hawks big enough to
carry you off
you get to fly
if only for a moment
was it a fair trade
Words and Feathers 
Wow, I love this so much. Such poetry flows like music in my head.
Thank you so much.
Just use your own wings 🙂
If only…
