Afraid To Falter Poem by Florence Badejo

I'm going crazy with these thoughts in my head
The days we're all together is now what I dread
I don't want them to come but they get nearer
Now they have me shivering in slight terror
I'm afraid of how I'll feel when I see you and her
Will I keep my smile and have my pains endure?
I honestly don't know and fear I will fail
My acting skills might falter instead of prevail
These days to come will be my toughest stage
Can I act my proper character without any rage?
I'll be hurting and breaking inside all this trial
I will not give anyone the slightest clue
Not to them, not to her, not even to you
I'll be dismal and gloomy and break into two
But I don't want you to know
