Reality

I'm laying here in the loud silence
Sinking into a deadly realization
My everyday appearance to the audience
Fake and just for general accommodation

When was the last time I felt something real
The last time I genuinely held a smile
Because happiness was a feel
And not just a play of a child

Living in the moment, pushing life's despairs
Holding my head high with each coming day
But my heart sinks with burden and tears
And it becomes unclear the message I'm trying to convey

The need to distract myself here and there
Trying not to dwell in the river of sorrow
Because then I become so aware
Of the pain that I push for another tomorrow
