A Dark Reminder of Life

Whats Life?
A Fragile thing carried within time?
Something made to be broken,
full of lies and deceit.

The twisted sense of humor
that is covering the pain inside.
The blank stare up into the sky
wondering why we become who we are
what we're meant to do in life.

The sad reality of things
the laughter that i fake.
The smile that is unreal
