It’s time to get up and
continue with this charade,
to put on my mask and
watch this life slowly fade.
I have tried my best but
now I must admit defeat,
Every day is a new
obstacle I must greet.
When I am asleep,
I can find my special place,
where everyone I see
has a happy smiling face.
There is no reason
for anyone to frown
because nobody here knows
what it’s like to feel down.
Not like this world where
everything is a fight
from when I rise in the morning
until I go to sleep at night.
The never- ending
monotony of living
a life that now
seems unforgiving.
