Illusion

by Casey *Virgo* - Not entered

I create the illusion that nothing's wrong,
But inside it feels like I don't belong.
Everyone says I have it great,
But forever it feels bad luck is my fate.
I feel I have nothing and that no one seems to care,
I want to take life step by step, stair by stair,
But the next step doesn't seem to be there.
It seems so much easier to end it all right here,
I'd rather not go through life seeing things so unclear.
I guess I'm afraid of what people will think and what
  I may find,
But now someone knows my life is just an illusion I 
  hide behind.

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem one night when i felt depressed.  I wrote
it because everyone thinks I have it all.  That my life is 
awesome.  They all expect too much. I wrote it to express the
feeling I had of not being able to take it anymore.
