Silent Tears - A Poem About Dealing Depression

As I sit to my bed alone,

Emotions began to burst.

I couldn't hold it anymore,

Then tears began to fall.

I can now unleash my mask,

Letting all those hurts inside.

Letting my heart to weep over,

Letting my tears to fall freely.

Without drawing attention,

I whimper my cries so softly.

I'm always there for people,

Yet no one knows my agony.

People think I'm the bravest,

Yet I weep behind closed door.

People think I'm the happiest,

Yet I'm the loneliest when alone.

I always wear my smile to everyone,

Yet my heart is shattering in silence.
