doldrums

**trying my hand at writing poems (sort of :).  I know its not as good as real poets go, but hope you like it. **

I am a chameleon, i put on a myriad of faces,
happy face for the little hearts that look up to me
a ray of sunshine to those looking for inspiration
but deep inside, i am shattered, grieving
a sadness that contains me

I am drowned with this desolation, eating my heart out
like ashes in a pyre my heart is scorched
a darkness that consumes me
this melancholy suffocating, restricting
a sadness that contains me

Like smoldering fire, i smother it
hoping that in my despair
it touches no other
this sadness that contains me
I am a chameleon, i put on a myriad of faces...
