:half:

The other half of me 
Explains what others see
But only few know that half 

That I choke and bleed between every laugh 
That there's a king behind the gaffe  
That there’s pain in every paragraph 

And those who know 
Don't know where I'll go 

But at least they will be at my gravestone

My dear nephew would say that he’s never happy though he puts a smile on. Depression is real.
