I need help.

I won’t show you that I do though.

I hide my sadness behind my smiles and store it deep under my skin.

If you ask if I’m okay,

I’ll look up at you with a childish grin and proudly say “of course”.

But hidden in the fog of my eyes, I'm dying inside,

And my mind is falling apart

Like a divorce.


I definitely need help.

I won't appear that way though.

You’ll find out one day…

But, by the time you find me,

it’ll be too late...

The author's comments:

I'm not depressed or anything. This poem is about Mac Miller and how everyone thought he was okay and then all of a sudden he just died.
