Choke The Happy

There’s nothing beneath the surface.
All you see is skin deep.
Facades built to keep you isolated.
Nothing of this can you keep.

Toss away ties that bind.
Embrace something and show you’re kind.
Masks won’t fill your tank.
Despair is but a substitute.
The more you drink the less you feel.
Suffocating in silence until you’re screaming.

Glazed over vision is a trap.
Fall into those voids,
Then you ain’t going to be coming back.
Treachery in disguise.

Toss away ties that bind.
Embrace something and show you’re kind.
Masks won’t fill your tank.
Despair is but a substitute.
The more you drink the less you feel.
Suffocating in silence until you’re screaming.

Aim to feel.
Yearn to live.
Condemn those that are scheming.
They mean you ill.
No wish to heal.
Only bleed you dry.
Turn you from empathetic to hollowed and begging to cry!

Ban the fakes with their lies.
They dress up in a cheap disguise.
Fester in places they don’t belong.
Always wanting to choke those on a happy song.
