Centre of the group, making everyone laugh,
A smile that will always last,
Jokes that would make you forget the past,
Only Very few will know it’s a mask,
A smile so big even family can’t see,
the pain that is lingering beneath,
The past won’t change, but the present is key,
Vision’s of the future, but it’s not a relief,
A past like he’s just screams confession,
Success to failure, in quick succession,
Doomed... with the burden of depression!!
The hardest task,
Is to rid of he’s thick mask!

- Comment from author about the poem: I suffered from depression and still do to a degree. I found myself in social occasions being the one making everyone laugh feeling like I had to put on a mask to hide the fact I hated myself. That’s when I wrote this poem.
