Pain

Pain

I wish I didn’t feel so alone.
Dealing with these thoughts can be hard on my own.

People seem to think I’m happy- nothing’s wrong.
But, what would they think if they knew my sad song?

My problems seem so small.
I feel so guilty to admit them at all.

Each day I feel sad, numb, on the verge of tears.
Admitting this is one of my biggest fears.

So instead I fake feeling “fine,”
Focusing on others’ problems instead of mine.

But nothing gets better, I feel just as bad.

Depressed, lonely, empty, and most of all- sad.
