Within And Without

Encased in darkness,

Drenched in hate,

I wonder why no one can predict my fate.

While crying within,

I greet the world with a smile

Speaking softly, screaming on the inside

Laughing uproariously, when all I want to do is die.

All you see, all you know

Is just an act, is just a show

Look at my smile, can't you see I'm faking?

Listen to my laugh, can't you hear my heart breaking?

To me, it's obvious, whenever I look in the mirror,

For there is a dark cloud just over my shoulder.

There is no true happiness, no true sun,

Just me on my  stage, and you the clueless crowd.

... what do you think?
