Often I lye and wonder why I've lost my smile I wonder if the courage is still there to go on I can bear no more My knees hit the floor And I pray for the day I find my smile again Fly high into the sweet by and by But first I must die I tell a lie because I'm scared of the truth The sadness I hide torturing more than a ride with the devil in the deepest pits of hell All that you see Is but a shadow of what I once was or wanted to be I'm a shell of illusion Solid at sight Yet dark as night in the fall

About this poem:
I wrote this poem about 10 years ago. I was in a very dark place at the time, obviously.
Lost and found Those that are lost try to find a way homeward bound No one is ever truly found in a sea of many If mankind were a dollar a man is less than a penny
