Disguise

As soon as I attempt to close my tired eyes the visions begin to haunt Restlessly, I toss and turn And the visions continue to taunt I desperately attempt to disguise all of my pain with the illusion of a happy heart But, my sorrow is growing everyday And I am slowly continuing to fall apart My world in which I once lived had vanished into thin air Part of me yearns to find it While the other part of me does not care I live each day consumed with the fear of proceeding accompanied by the fear to not try Standing there as if frozen Running out of excuses as to why I seem to have misplaced the drive which I once held inside of me It has stolen all my hopes and dreams Glancing upon my reflection I no longer recognize what I see I find myself unable to describe this emptiness which cages me like a slave My daydreams are no longer of happy thoughts Instead I find myself daydreaming of my grave I continue to hold onto one thought which soothes me although it is of my dismiss I think of the end A happy place where I no longer have to hide behind a disguise

Danielle, this is an excellent write! Although so sad. I have been to this place many times so I felt my heart stir with each line. We are the sensitive souls of this world...we carry the torch and the light. Stay strong! It gets better. It always gets better! You are never alone. Be well!
