The New Me
You probably think I'm joyful, free as a bird,
Because you see me laughing, with the biggest smile.
You see the false sparkle in my eyes, and think I'm happy.
Just the other day, I was skipping with pseudo energy. I waved hi, and seemed to enjoy your company.
But what you didn't see were the waves of my depression.
In fact, the storm was so strong that I laid down and weeped,
While letting my tears mix in with the water.
I only let you see my shining teeth and my smiling eyes.
Because, in truth, I am nothing more than another empty shell.
With no joy, no content, and definitely no love.
Only love for you.
I am just here, you need not worry about me, because one day, I'll be gone.
Just another page in your book.
