The Darkness Inside

When no one notices me
I feel my best
When no one sees me
I couldn’t care less


The all look
Everyone stares
The all see
I wonder if it’s fair


They give me nasty glares
I want to run and hide
They pelt me with their words
What’s the reason to survive


I go to school every day
Scared to go to class
Afraid that if the see me
They will look at me and laugh


I try so hard to hide it
In the best way that I can
If anyone knew what was inside
They wouldn’t understand


My life is full of broken glass
That punctures all my heart
I wish every day to see the light
But all I see is dark


I try to find a little joy
In all the simple things
But I just can’t seem to find it
The sadness seems to cling


They ask me why I’m broken
Why I even care at all
But it’s a reason they can’t see
That death won't stop its call`

What inspired this peice was my friend. She struggles with depression and I really tried to put myself in her shoes.
