Hoping

August 24, 2015

I am not what I'm appearing to be

My face showing smiles masking everything

I am hiding in my own reality

I have forced myself to believe anything

Because the real world causes my nightmares

Everything is starting to become dark

I'm starting to doubt anyone ever cared

I'm wishing I could hear the morning lark

Nobody ever thinks that i'm in Hell 

My mask is breaking into pieces 

My sanity is starting to resell

Though my smiles are starting to regress

I'm hoping that one day I can still be saved

Else the rest of my sanity will cave.
