Darkness

I seem happy, but I just hide my tears.

I sit with my friends, but I feel alone.

I am speaking, but I think of my fears.

I feel no pain at all, but I still groan.

This quickly growing darkness in my soul

Burns the inside of me, day by day.

This will never allow me to be whole.

Soon this black darkness will drive me away.

I will crawl into the depths of my heart,

And try hard to keep the darkness at bay.

But I do know it will tear me apart

Then in a deep depression I will stay.

I think about my flaws and want to cry.

As tears run down my face, I want to die.
