Lately I feel like all my smiles are fake.
Plastered-
so no one has to worry.
At night-
All alone-
I start to cry.
No longer am I strong.
Wake up.
There is that foreign smile.
Running on my streets.
My mind runs faster than I can.
Thoughts-
too much for me to handle.
I push myself harder.
My thoughts stay.
They won't leave.
On my knees I land.
I scream,
What has happened to me?

Painfully sad. Reminds me of one time when I relapsed into depression about a year ago - I know exactly how you feel. Excellent job at detailing the darkness that depression can bring on. Good, good.

I hope you are doing better! I've been through a lot but lately it just seems like everything is taking over and I'm losing it. Luckily I have amazing people to listen to me and poetry that people can relate to!
