Lost

You look at me

You think I'm happy

But you only see what I choose to show

I'm good at hiding things I don't want you to know

A smile on my face

To distract from the tears in my eyes

I'm an honest person

Yet the physical me lies

No reason why

No sad event

I'm living life

But I'm not content

The problem I have isn't one I can fix

It's gonna take time

It won't happen quick

7 billion souls have a place on this earth

But mine is not one of them

I feel being trapped here is a curse

People play me like I'm some kind of game

I take their bait and get left in shame

I don't deserve it

Just wishing for the best

Waiting for the right one

So I'm not alone like the rest

Maybe it's because I can relate to this, or maybe it's something else, but I really like this poem.
