The Truth of Me

Struggling with emotion
There is no cause to be found
A sadness creeps in
I'm suddenly way down 
Cold air breathes through my lungs
But rather than wake me it makes me sleep
Ready to hibernate or alone walk the dark streets
Eyes open wide budding with tears 
Filled with dread akin to fear 
Its a struggle internal and no one can see
Because I artfully hide the truth of me

For whatever reason this poem posted twice...I removed the first one, because there was no point in having two of the same things.
