Sorrow masks happiness

I am in the darkest place I could be

I cannot feel as if

The world cares for me

It may not seem true but

"My life is full of joy"

Is just a falsehood, and

"The darkness is my only friend"

I tell my family that

They are not the most important thing to me

My depression will understand that

My life is in order because

Sorrow

Masks the

Happiness

"Happiness will reign"

But this will not be the truth of my existence

You will never find happiness

I tell myself

In two years I will wish I were already dead

I refuse to believe that

I can have happiness

In my future

My future holds nothing but misery

It will no longer be said that

Happiness can be found for everyone

It is obvious that

Darkness will be my only comfort

There's no reason to believe that 

Life is beautiful

Unless I reverse my current path, I will die in misery. So read it backwards.
