Self-Created Misery

No one knows the pain I feel;
I smile to the world as if
I am not falling apart within.

Smell the roses, they say,
but all I feel are the thorns
making me bleed inside.

Maybe this is my own hell,
self-created misery
that scorches all my hope.

Perhaps this isn’t how I have to live.
