Motions of living

Breathe in, breathe out. Choking back tears and plastering a smile on my face.

Inside there's a hurricane of emotion, ripping at me with needle sharp talons.

I laugh, I flirt, I text, I post.

I go through the motions of living, wearing sunglasses so no one can see the torment of my soul reflected in the dark pools of my eyes.

I work, I play, I live, I lie to myself.

But I'm no longer alive.

I've prayed and now I can only wait, hoping......

To be saved before I get lost in the nothingness I've become!!
