Torment Behind the Smile


                          

When the mind plays games
And the soul seeks refuge
In places so dark and cold

The lips curve into a happy smile
But the eyes try to hold back tears
That could rush down like a river

When insecurity builds a wall
And negativity guards the spirit
To keep all joy at bay

And then the body crumbles
Aching, it falls to the ground
Seeking to end this misery

A dark mist surrounds you
You start to fade away 
It gets hard to breathe

You look up to the sky
In hopes to find 
Light on the other side
