Artificial Joy

Poems_

Artificial Joy, fake happiness

Delight sparkles around my face
Bliss radiates of my face
My smile is seen from miles away
The glow around my body
Illuminates the air

Covered Sadness, buried depression

My heart cries out in agony
But the cries are drowned by my fake glee
My soul is engulfed in darkness
The screams of my devastating thoughts
Echo repeatedly in my mind

  • Comment from author about the poem: In my group of friends I'm actually the funny and always happy one but most of the time I'm not even happy. When I don't smile they know there's something wrong but I don't tell them because I don't wanna sound stupid.

    Yeah I sense a strong vibe here with an echoing cry for help. I understand that feeling to play the referee amongst your friends or to keep sanity intact. After reading your poem reminds me of a late actor whom adored us with his thriving comedy. Robin Williams was a successful comedian and actor. However, he developed a deeper sickness being truly unhappy in which dwelled beanth his soul.

    So as that being said. Do not try to be the third wheel always but at least the shining light to see the reflection you've gave off to them.

    Another emotional piece poet.
