Misery

You smile, 

Despite all of the hardships

You constantly face in your life

You seemingly shrug it off

The stress, depression... The weight

It hurts doesn't it?

Your heart

Your soul

You've hemorrhaged many emotions

During your life

Internalizing the anguish

It's not surprising you can't absorb

The happiness you charge the air with

Or the infection of melancholia

That has infiltrated your mind

It is nothing you did

But you can't see that

And so bitter grows your soul

As the seconds go by

Laughing laughs that never warm your heart

You become more and more ensnared

By the trap you've set for yourself

A hard cased shell of disconsolation

How sad that truly is. 

However

You'll receive no pity from me, Misery.

Accurate and exacting. You have the insight of an X-ray machine, dear poet.
