RedRavenPoems

The lies I speak for others to hear,

Fall painfully upon my own ears.

The stories I’ve told of my daily life,

makes it seem I live carefree.

But it’s not the case, I’m filled with stress.

The thoughts and emotions burn within my chest.

The tears flow behind eyes unseen.

As I sit here in the dark and dream.

In the darkness I sit alone.

Like a shadowy sentinel on it’s throne.

I watch as the world beyond passes by,

Wishing I could partake or even, that I die.

Attention is something I crave.

Yet I refuse to rant or rave.

Instead I stay within my shell.

Locked inside this gilded hell.

I see smiles, I hear laughter.

I watch as others get a happily ever after.

Yet I stay here and guard the veil.

Inside my would will scream and wail.

Will I ever get what I want? Or will I stay here till I crumble apart?
