People say I'm doing well
I thank them but never tell
How I really feel inside
That would only hurt my pride
I wear this mask of happiness
So no one sees my loneliness
Burning deep inside my heart
Daily tearing me apart
Depression rears its ugly head
With confussion which I dread
At living yet another day
Trying to chase my fears away
Yes, I wear this mask of happiness
So, no one sees my loneliness
Causing tears to sting my eyes
though no one ever sees me cry
Dissappointment is a part of me
Yet, with out it, where would I be?
Saddness, anguish along with sorrow
Will be with me still tomorrow
So, I wear this mask of happiness
So no one see my loneliness
Feelings no one ever sees
Belongs to no one else but me.

I like this a lot .. I hope these words are a product of your creative poetic mind and not autobiographical tho’ .. smiling depression is no laughing matter and so difficult to diagnose before all too often it is too late .. Neville 😎💛👍
Hey Neville, again, thank you for reading me. I wrote this one a couple of years ago. I went through a really dark period in my life and writing has always been my release. Most my poetry seems sad (at least that's what I have been told) but to me it is a release from within and then I ca breathe again.
....................................... I got ya 😎💛🌻👍
Putting on a brave face. Wearing a mask to hide your sadness. So many people suffer from depression Teardrop. If you are one of them, hang in there. You convey your emotions very well in this poem. Good to see you.

Loneliness and Sadness now they are a couple of mischievous fairies. Always pestering the most vulnerable.This poem is from the heart and explores some hard truths.Excellent
Thank you so much for reading me.
A very beautifully poem expressing the emotion and pain when suffering from depression, but also the lengths we go to to hide it way. A lot of people wear masks for different reasons, but when you have depression the mask is your protection. Very well written.
