Are you in your happy place?

Smile creased lines upon your face

Or is there something else…an inkling a trace

That leaves a bitter soured taste

Something from within

That gnaws nags starts and begins

To pull you down and suck you in

Away from the happy to the sadness therein

A sense a fear that no one comes near

That when they do all they see is the smile not the tear

Tear away from gazing eyes, disappear

Let them not see what is truly here
