Empty Smile

by Duff Pearcy - Pisces

It's one thing to love, and another to hate, but when someone doesn't care, there are no feelings.

I get sick to my stomach every time I think of my life.  How I created my own demons.  I can't escape their fury, or their sins.  I can't escape myself.  I'm trapped inside.

Every night I come home to an empty house.  It doesn't matter if someone if physically there, the shadows still creep up behind and steal my soul.

I feel alone no matter where I am.  I put on the mask to make everyone think that I'm content with what I do.  The truth is, I cough up the blood of my echo feelings.

I awake at night in cold sweats, and truly sense the fact that I have lost my mind.  I'm not sure anymore what's reality or what's not.

Either way, I take it with a fake smile.

Reason for writing:

    Everyone since I was a little kid has told me that they don't care what I do with my life.  Personally to me that means that someone has no feelings what-so-ever for that particular individual.  It's better to hate than to have no feelings at all.
