Flaying happiness

Tears drip silently unspoken
as depression crashes inside
sinking roots within the skin
spilling sorrow from the unseen wounds, surrounding me
my brain beats louder than a drum
pounding the suffering 
entwining with depression 
drowning all self-confidence 
in an eight inch puddle of blood
that resides within the mind
flaying the skin of happiness 
cries and pleads for a soul to help
before I pass out from the pain
but no soul can hear the screams
when they are internal 
so I\'ll sit here and wither 
and pray for a brand new day 
to come and take me over
