Crying In The Shadows

Hiding from the joys to mask your own grief

My heart is like a darkened room
on a bright summers day,
My mind is like a blackened moon,
no light ever comes my way,

I hide inside too numb the hurting,
As happiness only brings me grief,
I hide the light behind the curtain,
I’m trapped, Im lonely but cannot leave,

Every day I wake in pain,
I pray this ache will go away,
But then the next is just the same,
I try but I can’t break these chains

Shackled by torment,
Confined by my misery,
A suffering thats silent,
Where no one can hear me.
