Child of Sorrow

Hi my friend
I am hanging in there
Holding on
to a string as thin as a strand of hair
I'm afraid
that ill let go
afraid that Ill fall
fall so deep
that i will forever sleep
and no one will know.
I'm trying to be strong
so i can tightly hold on.
I don't want to sleep forever
and allow my world to go.
I don't want to leave my family
, my friends and even my foes.
I wear a happy mask
with a painted smile
convincing everyone
that I'm a happy child.
When I'm jolly
Something terrible will happen
and my mood will take
a plunge back into the pool of depression.
But all the things I sacrificed to have today
I wont let it waste
I don't want it to blow away.
