If saving the person I love makes me a monster



so be it
I cry without tears
I smile without joy
The person you see is no more than a lie

I am not happy
nor am I content
the only thing I am is a lie

Sadness and loneliness
but no where near happiness
Striving to change
but all I am is a lie  

I fake a smile
I fake a laugh
I fake so much
but I can not fake that I'm a lie

In the mornings
in the nights
No escape in my sights

I am not happy
I am sad
I am good but I have been bad

I cry without tears
I smile without joy
The person you see is no more than a lie
Let me know what you guys think
When I see a person laugh...

smiling from ear to ear

hands on their chest

and tears in their eyes

while gasping for breath

I think it's *fake
Some times
I feel like I'm masking me
with

me.

It's not fake
but
it's a mask
and I molded it

several seconds ago

and I wear it
pretending I'm the same person

several seconds later.
I may not have too many friends
but the ones I have are authentic
a friend is a person who isn't a fake
...
Him
You can see he's broken
just by looking at his tired eyes
in the verge of tears
as he makes another hole in the wall
Tidal wave of emotions
he can't cope or come around
A certain expectancy
A hope that the future will be bright
But there's nothing else to hope for
when you are falling apart
Yet he brings himself together
Puts on that fake smile

Her
When the sun shines, oh so bright
not letting her hide from life
you can notice the pain, the deepness
in her seemingly fresh scars
She stares at her reflection
dreading everything she sees
Cursing under her breath
every cut, every scar, every slit
"I hate you", she mumbles
putting her makeup on
Not death, but life that scares her
Smile, even faker than before
Oh, dear warrior,
they will never know.

You live
You die
You soar
You fall
And it all repeats
In an evil cycle
A terrifying cycle
Until you finally take
Your own life.

A curse, indeed.
A thousand screams
fill me up inside
I swim upstream
trying not to collide

Make it stop
I'm getting bad again
My hopes I drop
This battle I can't restrain
5 months ago.
Like a car without a driver
Like a plane without a pilot
Like a boat without a captain

Like a town without a person
Like a hole without a space
Like a map without a place

Like a suit without a man
Like a shoe without a foot
Like a hat without a head

Like a cry without a child
Like a bark without a dog
Like a smile without a face

Like me

Without

You.
