Deep and dark thoughts in my head
Was I meant to think of sunshine and rainbows?
Behind my smile are tears
Full of sorrow like emotional shift gears
The mask I hold up every single day
Leading many astray even after
Constantly being asked how I feel
And with fraudulent grace, I say I'm okay
I once more show that big and bright smile
Carried on my face nice and tight
Once I am isolated, I sit alone
Crying like a baby who fights sleep
Many people trying to convince
Me it's alright to let my guard down
Ever so quickly do I change subject
Right in their face with a lie, I say
I have nothing to hide
It's okay they say
I respond no really I'm fine
Once again shutting them out
While their attention is elsewhere
I hurry to make a swift move
Before my eyeballs begin to shine
Alone again I am
Over and over letting depression hit
Just feels like falling endlessly
Into an eternal somber pit
I stand and look in the mirror
Saying to my reflection
What have you become?
Thinking of the fallen parts of me
That I could've made whole again
Hating the present that
I am not the past girl
As I sit and blame myself
And blaming the world
One day I will sit and
Wish to be hopeful again
And with a change of heart
With a turning point for the good
As I already feel I'm very much
Disconnected from mind, body,
And soul we'll just have to
Wait and see what's next
The main thing that made me want to write was based simply on the fact that I was alone when I did it. Sometimes being alone isn't as bad as others make it to be. But it just really depends on how long you're alone for. 'Cause sometimes that amount of loneliness can drive a huge wedge in between so much you used to enjoy.
