I Am-

Dark inside black as night I walk along tattered paths; no end in sight Running from myself; not looking back Real smiles and hearty laughs; is what's lacked Everyday life it's too much to bare Myself worth to me; no longer a care Unlucky 13 follows me through all Sadness fills me I become dull Sad, mysterious piano music rings in my head Neck up in self-doubts as I shamefully tread Like trees in the dead of winter I stand bare, Bare of emotions with the exception of despair Then I awaken putting on that fake, ever-present grin Hoping soon this internal battle I’ll win
