ALL THAT'S LEFT:

A downward spiral
A sinking feeling
It creeps up on you
Then drags you down
How much longer must I put up with this?
And why must I pretend?

Why must I...
Why DO I
Put on this mask?
Always okay
No I'm not okay!
But I have to be

I want to scream
To break things, throw things, hurt things
Hurt me.

It's all that's left.

Where are you now?

I liked this very much and i am sure i am not the first person to say it but my frind geoff and i always do when the other one is having a hard time "On the inside i am screaming" your write reminded me of that phrase. and "I feel like a sad clown who is forced to smile every day, but under his paint he is crying" is another one, very good

Sometimes its better to scream, and throw things, and break things... It's nothing compared to the damage you do to yourself by holding it in. This was a good write that I'm sure many can relate too. Thank you for sharing it.
