FLOODED BASEMENT

In my secret corner far from others
Mimed I the tune of lamentations
My lips only new to wail
Me, a new brewery of bitterness

In my heart, the palace of fear
Life this awful song
Grating my sound drums
My botanical name changed to depression

Shielded all with banners of smiles
Bright face, over laden heart
Feared all trusting no one, not one
Yet always I smile

Crying behind those smiles
Dying in my dark basement
In my tuxedo I shine
In my basement I sink

Drowning in my tears and worry
My basement is hell’s annex
Yet the World’s envy I am
Thanks to my perfect veil
