No One

November 29, 2016

I laugh at jokes, funny or not
Nothing and no one I have got
I smile and put on a joyful facade
They ask me if I’m happy, I just nod
But really it’s a lie
On the inside I cry
Because no one knows
No One will ever know, that everything I disclose
When they ask me why I cry
I say I have something in my eye
My life is a sham
Nothing I am

This is inspired by my life, as all my poems are.
