A Mask

No regrets
laugh and smile
live every day like its your last
you hope for a good day
you even put on a smile
but that smile is just a mask
to hide the truth behind
broken and hurt
life is going nowhere
you seem happy on the out
but nobody sees the hurt in your eyes
to afraid to tell anyone
for they may so oh your just depressed
so you keep it all to yourself
wanting some love, but when you cry out
no one hears or comes
they just shut you out
tears are forming 
its getting to be to much
you write a quick goodbye
saying how you have felt all these years
maybe now they will know and see how they were to you
you leave it on the table
go searching for Daddys gun
put it to your head
but can't budge to pull the trigger
crumbbling to your knees
you sit quietly thinking tears are falling
do i really want this?
you sit for hours
finally they all come home and find you on the floor
reacting like anyone would
crying saying im sorry
they ask why?
you give them the note
they all read in silence crying and shocked
to read how you felt
in silence you stay
soon everyone gives you a hug
from that simple hug you feel different
finally some love
thinking to yourself
im glad i didnt pull that trigger
