Fan Fiction ❯ Darkness ❯ Darkness ( One-Shot )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Darkness

The blackness that resides deep in my soul
Is breaking slowly through
The depression I had locked deep inside
Is coming to greet all of you

I keep a mask upon my face
Of a happy carefree soul
But if only you could read my mind
You would find it’s just not so

My mask is slowly slipping away
Allowing my feelings to show
People now stop and ask
“Are you okay? Yes or No?”

I look around and see happy faces
And wonder what their lives are like
For them to be so carefree
I wish I could be that way
But I know I’ll never be

The winds of time are whipping by
As the rain stains my face
Is it truly rain?
Or tears so out of place?

My life has slowly changed
Taking people away
Giving others bruises
And living another day

The shadows that now pass over my face
Are becoming darker still
I wonder what my ‘friends’ would think
If they knew how lost I feel

I slide my mask back on my face
And try to lock away my soul
The shadows are gone for today
When they will return, I never know
