new poem

It's been quite some time since I've written a poem. This one I wrote this on the drive home this evening, so it's a very rough draft. But here it is.

Lies

A laughing facade
when really,
I'm dying inside.

Friends and family,
work and church,
no on wants me for me
but rather the things that I do.

LIES!
my mind screams,
but my heart won't believe.

A tear rolls from my eye
for things gone unseen
while in exhaustion I lie.

The struggle continues
heart and mind disagree,
the same old news.
