Smile

A Poem by Angel_Rose1979
"

A quick tale of a person who was told to hide their depression.

"
Smiling is good,
That's what they all said,
So I tried the best I could,
But I still found it as painful as can be.
They wanted me to hide it,
They didn't like me crying,
They begged for me to try it,
Although I really was trying,
I guess they couldn't see it,
Because on the inside I'm slowly dying,
But I can't quit,
Because I know they hate to see me crying.
So I did my best,
I put on a mask,
It was almost like a test,
Because this was no easy task.
I felt like I'd been city cursed,
My mood began to fall apart,
As my condition worsened,
And began to rip at my heart.
Then one day I decided I couldn't take it,
I got ready to face my fears,
It was time to end it,
I was tired of hiding my tears.
Now I'm gone,
I became unknown,
I did as they said I should,
My time here is now done,
I died alone,
After all, in the end, they all lied, smiling isn't good.

Such emotion, staying true to yourself...sadness is an emotion you may freely feel. No one owns your emotions save you. Thank you for sharing.

Depression...such a sad thing to see people suffer with this and even harder for the person who suffers with it.
You left this on such a sad, hearwrenching note which was because of the powrful writing that came before. It can never be easy to write a piece on such a difficult subject for which so many suffer.
I applaud you in writing this.
Its kind of difficult to find the right words to leave with.
So in closing i will say, this was well written and thought out. I ams sure many will relate to it.

Mark.
