A Prisoner Of Despair? ✔️

I'm not sure when it
started or why it's so strong.
On the outside I seem happy.
No one think anything's wrong.
But on the inside I am dying,
screaming for someone to
see that the happy smile
and carefree laugh
was not the real me.
I've never been happy,
not that I can recall.
Between the world and myself,
i've built up a wall.
I don't know why
i'm like this; It makes
no sense to me.
I actually come from a very
close and loving family.
But even they have no
idea of the hell I endure.
They think I'm happy and normal;
of this I am sure.
I can't take it much longer;
I can't live like this!
I want to feel truly happy;
that is my biggest wish.
I need help, but who will help me?
who could comprehend?
Is there anyone there who
can help bring this to an end?
Or am I simply trapped,
A prisoner of despair?
Am I really all alone?
Is there no hope for me out there?
I'm so lost; please help me!
I can't do this alone!
I need someone,
a friend to call my own,
please help me.
