PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The illusion of my happiness,

The mask of laughs and smiles,

I've lost my thirst for excellence,

Pain's crying all the while.

When living drives me crazy,

Like rain drops never end,

When hurt makes my mind hazy,

My heart follows the trend.

No happiness lives in my life,

My smiles have no truth.

My fingers clenched tight to the knife,

My laughing hides my useless youth.

My cicrumstances may govern my mood,

But, over all, I'm just lost.

I lash out in my anger, I'm hurt, so I'm rude,

I'll cover my true thoughts, no matter the cost.

All beauty escapes me, love and friends I can't find.

Truth and honesty hide from my eyes,

Greatness and pride out of reach, out of mind,

The demon of depression eternally flies.
