Burden and Darkness

There's so much sadness and pain.

So much worn into me.

A pain hidden deep within.

No one sees it.

No one hears it.

A sadness and a pain,

It's something I keep hiding.

hiding behind a false set.

A false set of happiness and a smile.

Fakeness is a cover.

A cover of everything.

So much is worn deep into my bones.

My heart with a burden,

Burden of my sadness and pain.

What you see on the outside,

Is no where near close to what is inside.

What is hidden from all,

Is a thing I wish no one to know.

I am a burden in the dark,

Set and shoved into the light,

A light that still cannot see,

Cannot see right through my facade.

I carry a darkness,

Everywhere I go,

A darkness that can never overcome the light.

There's too much pain and sadness.

Too much born into me.

Too much to keep hiding.
