depression
these words they flow but no one knowsthe emotions from which they grow
a single thought could not express
the depths of this unhappiness
pain which stays and slumbers deep
until it forms tears from which i weep
it stays bottled deep inside
behind the mask in which i hide
an adopted persona so you will not see
the truth about what drives me
a woman who was sheltered and abused
a woman who was often used
fight or flight is how the story goes
because of the pain which no one knows
pressing forward day by day
in hopes the pain might soon fade
enveloped by darkness, thier is no light
