Feeling
Having this depression
Is like an uncontrollable expression
I wear a mask with a smile
That creates a fake profile
I don’t want the attention
I simply want to disappear
But I can feel the apprehension
Of them having an attitude of cavalier
I can’t get up in the morning
Because without a warning
This feeling of emptiness returns
And it burns
I dare myself everyday
To find masks like mine
To make their feeling go away
Because if I can help them
Maybe I can help me
We can hear the anthem
That sings only to us
A feeling of hope
That disappears with the rope
As I meet with my dearest friend
Death
