Pay the Cost

Pay the Cost

A Poem by Clara Kevie

Why does it look like I'm crying
When I should be perfectly fine?
Why are the vultures circling
When I should be right on time?
Why do I seem so grimy and low
When I should be dressed to the nines?

I know, I know it's just an illusion
The outside is actually okay
Yet from the inside is all confusion
When inner demons yell, "M'aidé"
Because even they are lost
Then very soon you'll pay the cost.

It's not finished; I want to work on this more. Any suggestions as to where I should take this for a couple more stanzas? Also, I don't know about the title… any ideas?
All constructive criticisms/feedback is much appreciated :)
