Tears locked away inside

Not able to show emotion

A blank face is all that is seen

Nothing underneath

Nothing is able to be seen

Nothing

Except for a blank face

Emotion is locked away

In a cell

Somewhere far away

Not being able to smile

To cry

But to just sit there

With a blank face

Friends

Supposed to be by my side

Friends

Supposed to be there for me

But friends

What do they do?

Stab me in the back

A sharp pain

Tears locked away

Not able to cry

Expressionless

Fake friends

Supposedly my friends

Kick me around in the dirt

Leave me on the ground

With the bruises of their constant

Mocking

Rudeness

Two-facedness

How does it feel?

When you give your all

But get nothing

No importance

No sympathy

No value

Hurts, doesn't it?

I wanna leave

Go away

And never come back

I’m depressed

But no one understands

And what’s the point of trying to make them?

My face is blank

I can’t do this anymore

I tell myself

No one understands

I can’t take it anymore

Its unbearable

Like a monster pulling at me

Constantly

I can’t hold it in any longer

I wanna scream

Run away

Be alone

The blankness in my face is gone

Like the trust I had in my friends

Like the trust I had in anyone

My friends too are gone

And I am happy

And Content

And Relieved

No more blankness

And at last

The tears fall

Dripping against my cheek

Dark stains made at the bottom of my shirt

And then I smile at myself
