Fake

On the outside
You may see that I am fine
You may see me smile and laugh
On the outside
You may hear me tell a joke
You may see every thing is alright
But all you see is a mask
All you see is an act
I feel so empty
And alone
All I see is darkness
All I see is nothingness
On the insdie
I cry for you
To see you and hold you
I feel like nothing with out you
I want to be with you always
On the inside I feel like I am dying everyday
And eventually all that will be left of me
Will be my mask
And an act
All there will be is what I wanted you to see
All there will be is a fake smile
A fake laugh
A fake me

my condolences

it is the suppression of intense emotions where joy is fleeting and not for the better – indeed pain feels worse, then pain, it feels hopeless and desperate. You can’t help but keep hoping for some happiness that never seems to come, every moment is steeped in the mountains of heartache, the torture of losing a child....
so, sorry for your loss. I hope you find some solace in your expression of your "inside"... I'll think good thoughts for you and yours...

stay safe
peace
Dylan
