I was told to write this
To hide away the darkness
So handle it with care
While I pretend its not there

I was told to write this
By someone I love
A happy poem they say
But if its all the same

I don't know what to say
I don't know what to feel
Do you really think this poem is real?

I guess today
Is not the day
To show my bright and happy side

I'm sorry babe
But I just can't escape
The darkness I try to erase

I was told to write this
My attempt at a happy poem
But everything around me
Has an amount of tinted darkness
