I breathe,
but I have stopped living.
I laugh,
but I am not content.
My heart weeps in agony,
but tears don't flow down my cheeks.
I hold my anger like poison inside,
but they show as displaced aggression.
I show my weakness, I am vulnerable,
but I don't admit it to myself.
I fear losing the ones close to my heart,
but I barely tell them how much they mean to me.
I love like hearts don't break,
but I don't tell them cause I am afraid of being devastated.
I have people who call themselves my friends,
but they disappear when I need them.
I try to see the reality,
but I get lost in the world of books.
I say I'm getting better,
but I was just getting better at faking it.

I hope you like them too :)
