Empty smiles filling voids,
illusions of the truth
shadows on the walls at night,
drain away my youth.

walking without waking
waking without wanting
scare away my angels
as the devil comes a-haunting.

tell myself that it will last,
as hopes are growing thin
force myself to make it through
I break out another grin.

Empty smiles filling voids,
illuding to the truth
shadows on my walls tonight,
draining away youth.

Any criticism is welcomed.

I love rhyming poems! At times, some poems obviously show some struggling with the rhymes, but yours flows very well.

The only suggestion I have is for the last line of the last stanza. I think "drain" is better than "draining." But it's only a suggestion. Keep writing!
