Cheerful disposition.
Tormented soul.
A broken heart cries to be heard
and each shattered piece remains undisturbed.
Invisible emotions don't appear to exist.
A desperate ache aches for affection.
Insecurity spreads like an infection.
Silent echoes of protests rebound,
begging for release.
This charade of happiness can never cease.
“No, don’t be upset. My tears are of
happiness; never forget.”
Soul-ripping torment from
an unseen force.
My heart doesn’t hurt.
It screams with regret.
Reality isn’t real.
Charades are merely facades.
Unaware of surroundings;
just smile and nod.
Lost and drowning in
suppressed emotion.
Take these glass shards
that once completed my heart.
Thrust them into the dark.
Oh, Mr. Angel with your ebony wings.
Take my hands
and lead me away
from this place where
I can no longer stay.
Open up and let me in.
See me for who I really am.
Author notes
Hello, all. I finally started writing poetry again. It's been a few years and I'm now sixteen. Granted, it's not amazing and I hope you weren't expecting a masterpiece, but I hope you enjoy anyway. This poem is about how I've been feeling lately: how I feel that I'm putting on this show for others, how I seem very happy and cheerful but in reality feel so depressed and heartbroken over something I don't even know of. It's also about how it seems that no one seems to see through this charade and if they do at all, shrug it off once I tell them that I'm fine. Another thing I wanted to let you all know of what "Oh, Mr. Angel with your ebony wings" is supposed to represent. I put it there to represent that it's not actually an angel (hence the black) that, in this poem, I seem to think is an angel and am asking for relief. Doesn't seem like it'll end well, does it? Anyway, like I said earlier, I hope you enjoy! Don't fear leaving critiques. They help a lot, trust me.
