Petty Disguise

I have wandered through sadness, 
lost hope and failed,
Allied with despair and befriended hate.

With dark clouds, 
gloomy skies and hopelessness to my release,
I have cried a million tears of disbelief.

Walking habitually through the boulevards of broken dreams,
I have been mislaid, 
my faith did dim.

Shambled, broken and incurably dejected,
Full of remorse, 
my life has always been misguided and defeated.

My existence has been cruel, 
I have paid the price,
The smile that you see today is just another petty disguise!

  2. Wow, awesome job. Not sure if it’s a true telling of how your feeling or just a great way to describe the feeling. Tells a story of hurt left for your own perspective.
