It’s a struggle every day, to keep all the darkness at bay. To continue to laugh and play. This is such a hard thing.

I try to laugh, to never be sad. Or in worse moments to get mad. I present to the world a smiling face. While inside my heart will race.

Torrential agony rips though my soul. Filled with all the worries of the day. Anger runs in furious leaps. Wanting to be freed to make others weep.

I hold it in as long as I can. There is no point in lashing at the other man. Yet I feel the need to scream.

I shout and curse inside my mind. A cage where others my thoughts shall not find.

This place is my refuge where I can be myself.
