Array ( [sid] => 99480 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Artificial Happiness [time] => 2005-06-28 12:18:53 [hometext] => Artificial Happiness... Says just about everything you need to know.... [bodytext] => Clear my mind of these illusions
holding back tears I refuse to cry..
But lord I'm walking thin now
waiting for the day I finally die..

Hiding in the darkness.. alone
scared trembling in my own skin..
Pulling my sleeves down more.. cold
drowning in my own masked skin..
___
Learning these ways of life that are cold..
Only to be stricken down my lingering fears..
Never ending road that's what I'm told..
Everything always turns into stricken tears..
Lullabies hidden deep inside this hell..
Yearning not to be alone.. can't even feel you..
Searching for a way out from under this cell..
United till the end nothing I can do..
Idolized by my peers.. If they only new the truth..
Censored by venomous lies I hold underneath..
Inside this hollowed core hidden from my youth..
Drapes the hate toward where I can't breathe..
Ending upon the tasks suffocating me..
___
Weeping in this endless sorrow
Holding on to what's left here
Yearning not to see tomorrow
Mourning in these crimson tears
Every thing's becoming more hollow
Lonely upon this dreaded void
Oceans oblivion the water's so shallow
Ruptured end I must learn to avoid
Drowning in this fates devoid..
___

Why must must we be dragged through pain..
The question in my mind left unanswered..
Eating a way at my blackened soul
Devouring my helpless heart like cancer..

The burden that's held upon my shoulders..
My life's beginning to be consumed by sadness..
I must put this fake smile on my face..
Masked by this artificial happiness.. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 178 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Brandyx7 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 13 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

I love this poem. I can relate and a poem you can relate to makes the poem hit a chored in your heart. This is a beautiful write and it kinda seems like it could be set to music and make an awesome song.
rock on and keep writin! :D
