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.
