Depression

Silent screams shatter my mind
haunted eyes stare back from the mirror
forbidden tears stream down my face
my fears are turning into terror

the shadows of my past are creeping up on me
my secrets of today are dying to be discovered
i beat them back into a hidden crevice
with lies they are so easily covered

nightmares are taking over my dreams
making it so hard to sleep
i stay up countless nights crying
my pools of misery go so deep

in the morning i apply makeup
hide all traces of my pain
i go through the day pretending nothing's wrong
even though in my heart it's so plain
