That Dark Feeling

poem by: Robin Lucas
Written on Nov 16, 2016

I see all these people
lives normal and mundane,
yet they still smile.
I think sometimes that's what I want,
but all I feel is pain.

I have plenty of reasons to be happy,
A wife who loves me,
A son who smiles at the sound of my voice.
When people ask why I'm sad or angry
I tell them it's hard to explain.
It's a single feeling deep inside me.
All I am is pain.
I am so fucking hard to explain.

You are not alone, many people hide their pain and sorrow behind a mask...well done, continue to share.
