There are times when I pretend to be someone else.
Where I am full of Love,
Happiness
And joy.
Without a care in the world.
Always a smile on my face.
But then I lapse back into me.
Where everything
Is bleak and distorted.
All my efforts are thwarted.
I can not find peace in my soul.
I sit in the dark late at night and cry.
For which I do not know why.
I have lapsed back into me.
A place Where I can never be happy.
Where did that other person go?
Where is the mask I used to hide?
I have to hide,
For I don't want the world to see.
To see the pathetic being that is me.
I lapse back into me.
