Stand

I can't take this anymore,
All the faking.
It's slowly killing me
From the inside out.

And it's horrible that I'm the only one who see's it.
I don't want it to be this way
But what other choice is there to do?
All my life I've been hiding in the shadows
And that is all I'm used to.
But the shadows are forming demons in my mind,
That are making me go crazy.

What else am I supposted to do when all I do is hide?
They see my wonderful, shining outside,
But have never had a glimpse of my dark, inside.

The angels have slowly fled their way out of my life,
Leaving me to have to fight my own demons.
The demons that dwell in my mind
And took me over.

I give them a smile to see,
But pain hides,
And they accept the smile, ignoring the one thing
That one clue I give
And walk away thinking everything is alright.

But it's not.

Sometime must accept the world around you. Stand your ground and aim at your dreams. New world. Most people are afraid and sometime we must set the example. We must fight demons all our life. I learn better to walk away and say nothing when there is nothing you can do. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
