You're falling into an oblivion

So deep and dark

When you fall

Only a shadow returns

Vulnerable and frightened

Wishing to have been saved

Though you know nobody

Listens or hears

Nobody watches

Nobody sees

yet they they still do

They see a masquerade

A mask of smiles and cheer

A false bravado

You want them to see

Your eyes

The darkness that

Lurks behind

The lack of compassion

That left you nearly blind

You want them to see

You screaming

And writhing in agony

As nobody knows

The demons

That hide themselves

Inside

You want night to fall

So you can rest

Away from your demons

Away from your incompetence

To your world of dreams

Alone
