What you feel doesn't matter
What you ache,
What you cry,
Is meaningless
Your tears are empty and so is your soul
What is worth a dime is what other people think you feel
What they want you to feel
They ask if you are feeling all right
But they do not want to hear you say
"No."
They want to see a smile on your face
They want to hear you say
"Yes."
So you give it to them
You give them a smile and a nod
They realize… maybe they don't
They move on and the light in your eyes fades
To darkness
A black hole ******* your humanity out
Spitting the useless out.
The dead.

But the dead is alive and so are your feelings

If only they mattered.
