just cover up
October 25, 2013
I surround myself
with a muster of
bright color
in hopes of
the happiness
seeping its way in
into my blackened
depressed
empty
soul
I pretend to be
happy
only to please
those around me
but sometimes it gets so hard
that I break
the joyous character
that I play
each and everyday
the rage and anger
and hurt and
permanent sadness
spill out with every
ounce of power
it holds
I am hated for me
by me
