Cursed

You don't understand what it's like to be me; to have all this darkness inside. I try to mask my sadness, but it's just too hard to hide. I wish I could smile and pretend I was alright. To happily be free and walk into the light. But instead I'm chained up in a terrible casket. I don't know how I'll ever get out of it. If only I could feel my happiness once more. Instead I feel this void inside my chest, not the peace I had before.
