I am smiling.

But is it real?

What do I keep concealed

Behind the silhouette of my grinning mask?

Do I hide aching sadness?

I open my eyes

But my vision is blurred

By a rush of tears

And all I see are shades of blue

My tears turn to waterfalls

Then become a raging ocean

And I am drowning in the beautiful colors

Of bittersweet depression

The silky water wraps me in a gentle hug

The sorrows are heavy like rocks tied to my feet

As I am being pulled down into the blue abyss

And I forget to breathe
