You used to smile

This infectious smile

A smile that told everyone you were happy.

It has since gone away

A fake one in its place

Leaving me asking where did it run away to?

What has left you sad

Unable to show it

Have I done something wrong?

Has the world gotten to you

Have I spoken out of line

Is it just gone for good, none getting to see it?

I hope it comes back

Crosses your face again

Because the world is far darker without it.

I spoke words that I haven't heard in a while,

The words of hope, love, and faith.

The words depression has shoved away,

The words that seemed too distant to be real.

I spoke in defiance of depression,

To kick it while it was down.

To my shock it retreated some.

So again, I spoke, louder this time,

Screaming to the heavens and shaking hell.

My words rang louder,

Shaking the darkest parts of my mind.

I will be fine.

I watched the leaves blow

Curious where they wanted to go

Did they want to stay on a tree?

Or fly away free?

How much I wanted to go too

I wanted to be sure I flew.

I wondered if they gathered again

To be with all their friends.

I watched the clouds as well

They seemed to puff up and swell

Being pushed in the wind

They merged again before floating off

I waved, knowing I couldn't follow

Hoping I would see them again

I knew it wouldn't happen

But I hoped

I tapped my reflection

And it felt like I was in a new dimension.

The face looked distorted

Oddest thing to be reported.

I tapped a bit harder

And did nothing more than ponder

How could that be me?

When they have no glee

I thought I was happy

But they look so sappy

I tapped the surface

Trying to understand the purpose

How this reflection of me

Could possibly be

Anything other

Than a bother.
