I Just Can't by Mike

You ask too uch of me.
Smiles, happiness - that I cannot be.
Ask me to yell, ask me to cry.
I can do these, that is no lie.

Its all I seem to do each day,
While hoping the pain will go away.
Laughter and joy are things of the past,
Hate and anger lie in my heart.

Hidden away from enquiring minds.
Its easy to deter them with lie after lie.
No one seems to really see
How much these things are hurting me.

I need to shout, I need to scream.
I hope my life is just a dream.
Someone pinch my so I can awaken
And all my fears can finally be taken

Far away where I can't reach
And happiness I can finally seek.
But until this day I can only wait
For the courage to dedice my own fate.

Been there, done that.
*applauds* :) Great, Mike. It's depressing but hey, that's just you. And by this poem, I know what you're going through, kinda.
I love you.

"You ask too much of me."...I ask you to try your very best...that is it..."Laughter and joy are things of the past,"...I still see that even if it is not as much as before
