I stand, smiling
Hiding my true feelings
From others
Even though they don't care
How I feel
Inside
If I am so good
At convincing
Others
That nothing is wrong,
Why can't I convince
Myself?
I've got them all
Fooled, masking
The way I feel,
No one knowing,
But me
Why can't I
Speak my mind
Like everyone else?
I am forced
To keep it all
Inside
| They don't know me
They don't want to know.
I am just a stranger
That they call a "friend".
But who are they?
"They" are certainly
Not me
And I am happy
Because they wouldn't
Want to deal
With what I have
Inside.
They are not
My friends.
In this sick
Sedistic, twisted
World, you can't trust
Anyone
They say
"Grin and bear it"
And I laugh at that,
because I have never
Heard a remark
So ridiculous
| You can only block
Things from your
Mind
For so long
Because eventually
They always come
Back to you
Who is there
To talk to?
No one listens
They are all wrapped up
In their own little
Fantasy world,
Far too busy
To care about
How I feel.
Someone listen,
Help me open up.
I can't keep
Smiling forever.
I don't know how
Long I can keep
My feelings
Inside. |
