What do you see

When you see me what do you actually see?
I smile and laugh
My eyes shine like the stars
I carry myself with pride
I try to give joy and love
But is that what you see?
I frown more then I smile
I want to cry more then laugh
The shine in my eyes are the tears that fell from them hours ago
You see stars
I see the darkness behind them
I feel so low that I want to hide in a shell
I feel sad and no love in my heart
I'm hollow empty when it comes to emotion
The emotions I feel are depression anxiety and insomnia
The feelings you dont want to feel
So you say your emotionless bit to worry anyone
But the question you here in your head when your with someone or anyone is
What do you see?
