Possible
In the day I shine.
I smile and show my glowing white teeth
I laugh to make the appearance that I am “happy”.
I see the world everyone smiling with glee
But, I am in fact
not full of smiles and glee.
I am full of pain and loss.
Can no one see that?
I fear that I will not be noticed
that I will not be seen.
At night, I disappear
I hide in my room.
I am gone, no where to be found
And I think.
What is this glee I see in the world?
And Why do I not feel it?
What is the joy that I can not seem to find,
this “happiness” that we so often talk about?
Is the world possibly just like me?
Is the world so desperately
waiting for someone to hear
that cry out of hurt and pain and loss
that is has been feeling for so long?
Is the world putting on the appearance
to show that they are “happy”
and that they are so full of joy and
glee?
Is this just a show?
Is the world possibly just like me?
