[ Free Verse ]

Like others, there's something wrong with me

     something you might not easily see

     but beneath smiles so sweet

     and the laughs filled with glee

     there's something I'm hiding inside me

 Always walking beside is a curse;

     if I keep it too long, I might burst,

     so I sing it in a verse,

     it's complicatedly diverse

     I don't know; I just really feel worse.

Whenever I feel this, I turn sad,

     and don't cheer me up; I'll feel bad.

     Rememb'ring things I should've had

     when I was just a wee lad --

     Wait - erase... Am I turning mad?

 Why can't the vile past just leave me be?

     why does it continue to haunt me?

     when the thing I only

    just want is to be happy,

     all crash down.

Can I really be free?
