Every morning I wake up,
red eyes,
swollen from crying.
I wipe tears away,
and inside,
I'm dying.
But I
get out of bed,
and I brush my teeth.
Looking at a face,
that should not breathe.
And I rehearse my lines,
a character, not real.
Because I would never tell you,
how I truly feel.
I try on a smile,
like make-up for a show.  
And I tell myself,
"Just let it go".
But the depression follows me,
whatever I do.
And if I said anything,
it'd be a joke to you.
So I fake my smile,
and I fake happiness.
Just wait 'til tonight,
in by room, in my dress.
I'll be in my finest,
my very best.
And I'll take this knife,
strait through my chest.
And you'll find me next morning,
a smile on my face.
Blood dripping from my wound,
for my life's been replaced.
I like this one a bit more than I like the last one, mostly because it (kinda) rhymes.
Thoughts like these are best for poems.
