The darkness beneath my soul

One's mind full of darkness 
There's no light at the end of my tunnel 
A starry night with no morning light
It's no depression just lack of delusion 
It's an end to an old illusion 
It's what's hidden under the cloak of cheerfulness
My soul screams in agony ,
My mind,soul and body very weary 
Just waiting for the end of each day 
To hide and cower in my shadows
Being one step closer to death each day 
No enthusiasm strikes this rock of a heart
The smile i wear feels heavy on my face 
I never wanted to be like this 
Only if they saw me sooner and left me to be alone
The personality i wear is like another skin of heavy burden 
Oh heavens deliver me from this abyss 
A complicated mind in an illusion of a  world 
Oh dear me, dear heart poor soul for my breath still resides in my lungs
