A/N Random set of haikus, because I was in poetry mode. Maya pov, giving up on Lucas for Riley. Reviews much appreciated; criticism (constructive or not) always welcome. I do not own GMW.

...

Pretend you're okay

Don't show anyone you're hurt

You will be okay

...

Shove your feelings down

You can not take from sisters

Let her be happy

...

Let your heart freeze through

Put the warmth into laughter

Let them laugh with you

...

Build a dam of strength

Let emotion fill you up

Don't let it be seen

...

Just before you burst

Empty feelings on pages

Ink the words with pain

...

Don't have too much faith

Just go on, live, don't look back

Hope is for suckers
