The part I play

I feel like I am suffocating
My mind isn’t there
Grasping begging desperately for air
I’m drowning in a sea of emotions and thoughts
Every day is the same routine
Work, eat, sleep repeat
I keep my storm on the inside, never wavering in stride, yet every day my emotions are harder to hide.
On the inside I am screaming and crying, can’t you hear me? My heart breaking more with every plea.
On the outside you would never know, because I keep that smile on everywhere I go.
Happiness, true happiness is just a distant memory. Not too much left in me.
But hey tomorrow is another day…. Just a small part in the act I play…
