The Show Must Go On

Here I go again.

The pressure slowly rises

While teasing back to the times of old.

Times of excitement

Times of ease

Times of happiness

But the happiness fades,

As the darkness sets in.

The pain grows stronger,

As the weight piles on again

Here I go again,

Countless nights of lost sleep,

As those thoughts slowly creep back in

I lay here, petrified

With tearful eyes

And Emotions running high

Reminiscing in the past,

Only in regretful moments.

Thinking of the future,

Only images of despair

How much longer do I have to pretend?

Is it all really worth it in the end?
