Sadness

I'm sad for reasons unknown. Which basically means I don't like to tell my problems to people, including my friends, family, and therapists (which I can't even afford in the first place). And yet I vent to myself, and let it out through my writing. And a poem has come out of it, sometimes a story. But today a poem.

I hide through my pain

All you see is a smile

I cry through the pain

All you hear are lies

I’m in pain

And yet you don’t see

I pretend to be happy

For everyone’s sake

I lie

So you won’t worry

And yet I have hoped

That you may see through my

Façade

And yet I have hoped

Someone may see the other

Half of me

My happiness is a lie

My sadness is the truth

And all you hear is

I’m fine.
