It would kill them to know. ✔️

My world is falling,
crumbling apart, life is
meaningless & that's just the start.
My hearts so sore,
I can feel It breaking & I swear to
god it leaves me shaking late at
night till early in the morning,
lying in bed eyes wide open.
Didn't sleep last night,
like all the others,
instead I just lie crying
in the covers quick,
wipe away all the tears
before they come near.
Must hide this depression & the
feelings of fear for all they know
I'm happy & always smiling,
but deep inside my soul is dying.
I can feel it rotting, it wants to scream,
but I won't let it. Not for the time being
I can never tell them how I feel
because the happiness I wear to
them is real for them to hear
that I wish I was dead.
It would kill them,
they'd be filled with dread so
I'll try my best not to be selfish,
I'll keep my secret hidden & just
let them rest but god I can't
take it much longer.
I'll probably be dead
before they even wonder.
