From the outside I appear happy and whole,
Truth far from this, I am out of control.
I know not what I want from life,
Depression and sadness now run rife.
I laugh on the outside while I cry from within,
Sadness surrounds me but where did it begin.
My childhood I remember as happy and carefree,
Was adolescence really the end for me.
During my twenties life became stale and cold,
Was this truly when I became old.
Emotionally stripped by those who surround,
My heart ripped out and thrown to the ground.
Left feeling nothing for myself or those around,
All emotions and feelings seem to have drowned.
Ice cold of heart and empty of soul,
Oh what I would give to once again feel whole.
