A Sad Poem

Sadness consumes my soul Like ivy growing on an old building Slowly devouring any beauty Anyone might have ever seen All the hope I have ever had Slowly fades away each day, Like paint on a decrepit house Peeling from all the harsh weather it has endured. I wake up each morning feeling Like there is nothing left to live for Wondering what is wrong with me Wondering why no one wants to love me. If I am so great, Why am I so lonely? If I am such a wonderful person, Why doesn’t anyone want to be with me? Happiness is a feeling long forgotten, Replace by a daily plague of depression. Negativity is the locust of my life Anguish is abundant and all I know. I cover myself with a façade of joy Masking the true feeling of desolation. I don the aroma of bliss To distract from my natural scent of despondency. How did it come to this? Where did I go wrong? Why am I so sad? When will it change? I hate the way I feel, I hate hiding my sorrow. I hate feeling helpless, I hate knowing no one wants to love me.
