Have you ever seen someone living a so called happy life

the next day that same person takes his own life

I guess that's what they meant by never judge a book by its cover

Beautiful on the outside but messy on the inside

but aint that we all do

we assume how a person is doing just by the way he looks

so instead of asking asking how are you?, how’s your day

we go with mayne you look so lovely today

then person smile and say thank you

but at that the same time he’s thinking of all possible ways to hurt himself

You look at my whatsapp dp you see a pic of me with a broad smile

but in reality it took 25 pictures before that smile look real

look at my insta name *ever happy royal papi”

but in reality I'm really dying inside

you check my messages I consistently make over 10 persons smile each day

but in reality there’s not a day goes by I do not think about suicide

I keep in check with all my friends to ensure they are all well

In reality I’m afraid if I stop they won’t check on me

I keep on texting first but in reality I’m scared that if I don’t no one will text me first

I walk with group of my friends talking just like any other day

but in reality at the same time I’m talking I’m thinking about life

Hey you look so happy I like the way how you dress

in reality University sucks and I’m depressed as hell

you check my instagram status its full of inspirational quotes

but in reality not one have inspired me

You see me active in every event you can possibly think off

you see me drinking but its for a different reason from why my friends drinking

you see me start to smoke you say I’m getting hype

reality I’m just trying different means to get over depression

sometimes a “hope you have a good day” can go a far way

just to know that someone out there still cares

If I’m wrong and someone do care I’m sorry

But what’s the use of words without action

I bet when I post this poem someone is going comment they feel the same way as I do
