MORÉ THAN MEETS THE EYE
You see a big, loving smile but it’s how I mask my pain
You hear a loud, deep laugh but im drowning out my brain
You feel loved by me but that’s me trying to feel it in return
In a world that sees my worth that I feel I must earn
Your perception of me is an illusion
A carefully thought out ploy
to distract you from the turmoil
That wants to self-destroy
Longing to be accepted
In a world that can be so cruel
Fighting my inner demons
A never ending duel
So next time you meet someone
that exudes so much Joy
Think of me sincerely,
one of depression’s many toys
