I Write Poetry Best When I Am Depressed

No Title

By: SelfDefinedPrisoner
Written on November 5th, 2012
Behind my eyes, the tears hide the pain, behind my smile, my jaw clenches tight, fighting the need to scream and tell everyone "no I am not alright, I am not okay", because I know what they will say "you are just having a bad day" but then again how could I expect them to understand anyway, I've been fooling them like I have been fooling myself, prentending to be me when really I am someone else, lost in a black hole inside myself screaming for help, in silence, masked by someone I want to be, the someone they see, someone who appears to be happy, but me I am sad and alone.
