Poem: I Can Still Smile

I Can Still Smile

I am not depressed.

I can still smile at pretty things.

And laugh when jokes are funny.

I can still talk to people. 

And enjoy nice days.

But when I go inside. 

When I am alone.

There is something broken.

And I fall into a sadness so sweet,

That it engulfs me.

I look in the mirror.

And I don’t like what I see.

And the tears always fall,

When I’m falling asleep.

I miss something,

That doesn’t exist.

I am not depressed.

I’ve just been sad for a while.

But I can still find the light.

I can still smile.
