Depression

I wear a smile on my face
For the world to see
But I don't feel it
Happiness
Always seems to allude me

I don't feel wanted
Like a burden
Placed upon this world

You look at my face
You see me smile
However
When you turn away
The frown returns
If you look deep into my eyes
You would see
I'm dying inside

When I am alone
I don't have pretend
The frown returns
From the forced grin

An empty hole
A vast waste
Is all that is left
Of my soul
