Faces

[Todash]

Guilt and anger inflame the senses. Nerves on end. So much apprehension. Shunned for unrighteousness, ignored for feelings of despair. I hate this world. Let me out of here.

Faces of Fakeness

Faces of Lies

Faces of Apathy

Please let me die

You smile and say hi

Then walk on by.

Sometimes you ask

“How are things?”

I say fine

You don’t have the time

So you walk on by

Faces of Fakeness

I tell you I am fine

But I am not in my right mind.

I can’t tell the truth

You would not care.

I hide the truth behind glazed eyes.

Faces of Lies

I cut myself. I bleed

I cry. My heart breaks.

I slowly fade to nothing.

I become less and less

You look at me then look away.

I disappear.

Faces of Apathy

That's a really powerful poem, Todash. I liked it, but it was sad too. I hope it helped to write stuff out. :hug2:

Thank you. I actually wrote that several years ago when my marriage and my life were falling apart. I have always struggled with being open about how I feel. I hide behind "I'm fine" and "I'm ok". But when it got to the point where it was so physically obvious I was in serious crisis, my "friends" were all of a sudden to busy, or to righteous. So I penned that in honor of them.

This really got to me, I guess I can relate to it. Thank you for posting this, Todash.
