PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

People say they don’t know where my darkness comes from,

If only they could walk a mile in my shoes,

It would be more than obvious where my darkness comes from.

Then the question would not be of darkness,

But how I could muster a smile.

I have so many more problems than people seem to conceive,

However having no one to talk to,

I am forced to keep all emotion bottled up inside.

It is to the point now I feel as if I may explode.

People do not know where I get my darkness,

If only they could walk a mile in my shoes.
