Dark Grief

The darkest night
The greatest weight
The biggest fright
The fiercest hate

Do you know how it feels
To feel this way
To feel like nothing
Day after day

You wear a mask
To cover your fears
Don’t want them to see
Your endless tears

You don’t want to talk
In a therapy session
So despite your grief
You hide your depression
