Charlotte's Death

I was once told, a life is not a life is there is no love. Well I haven't any and have been push and set aside to wait in the background and see everyone else happy and in love. They see me and smile but I don't get to share in the joy, in the love, in the happiness. So I smile and put on a good performance so they don't know the hurt behind the smile. But I'm done trying, done faking the funk. This is who I am, take it or leave it. I'm not going to play nice so you'll like me or fake a smile so you don't ask questions. From now until forever I speak truth in more ways than one. I will finally be free, finally able to be me.... Dead.
