To everyone who reads this,
I'm sorry for the pain...

The negativity stains me
Stains everything i do...

The inanimate object
With which to hide behind...

I live with their disappointment
Knowing i can't be what they want me to be...

Again you go unnoticed:
In a cave sunlight daren't enter...

Crying
I can't stop crying...

Haunted be the darkness of my own mind
of how i think...

How can i be happy, when all i feel is shame
How can i be smiling, when all i see is sadness...

As i hide beneath the mask
i long for the freedom...

How hard is a black dog to rid
Whilst flowers bloom on the other side...

Shattered, broken, on the floor,
Lies my mask to hide no more...

The black dog settles in the mind
Makes itself at home...
