Can no
one see this smile
I'm faking,
See how, inside, I'm
constantly shaking?
These people all claim they
know me well,
Yet no one can see through my
crumbling
shell?
"I'm fine" , I whisper, my sadness unknown,
They leave me to deal
with this anguish
alone.
I've hidden behind this
wall most of my life,
I've managed so far,
I've dealt with my
life.
Watching as, slowly, my
blood leaks away,
It helps to keep life's
true horrors at
bay.
I pull down my sleeve to
cover my hurt,
For approaching footsteps,
I'm on the
alert.
I guess my pretense is just
all too real,
No one has to know of the pain
that I feel.
The real me inside, where no
one can see,
I can fool everyone
else, why can't I fool
me..?
