Lost In Sorrow

This is how somebody may feel when they are depressed or upset: they feel like everybody is mocking them, hiding from them, as if the world around them is a jail cell, a morbid place of no hope.

A city of shadows, faces obscured by lies,
Clouds of cigarette smoke and rain of tears,
Fake smiles, crossed fingers, stone cold eyes,
Nothing is as it seems, never as it appears,
The air is filled with the whispers of deceit,
The sky is not blue, but instead a hopeless white,
Happy thoughts try to surface, but quickly retreat,
Nights are gruesome and grim, days are dark as night,
There are so many others, but no one wants to meet,
Misery loves company, and company it does gain,  
Tears of regret and remorse flow like a waterfall,
Hope and happiness seem to be negated by pain,
The demons of our past are behind us, they crawl,
Many attempt to leave this world, leave it all behind,
If you try to wake up, open your eyes and you’ll see,
Everything’s the same, nothing’s changed, you find,
There’s no escape for you now, this is the true reality
