Darkness
They say that this is only a
phase but little do they know
that this has been going on for years.
This darkness that covers me
from head to toe is fatal.
This darkness makes my
self-esteem become weak.
They tell me to just smile through it
but I can’t deal with this darkness,
that is a part of me.
I am told that everyone has love, happiness, and trust.
But this darkness covers up the truth.
So, is love; lust?
Is happiness; depression?
Is trust; betrayal?
Which one is it?
This darkness is too much and it
makes me feel as if I’m not good enough.
All I get from people is to smile...
it is only for a while.
