Pain is a dark feeling,
It comes with conditions to express,
Rules made before uttering a big cry,
Emotions dealt with others concern,
Certain drafted ways to hide your deep cracks
And an unusual pause to act normal in front of people!

Feeling depressed deep within,
Pretending to be very casual though,
One eye opened, filled with happiness to show the world
And another eye closed, with tears to calm the storm inside
Yet another day living with thoughts to end life,
Still manages to pass through those tough times with a fake smile!
