Hiding the hurt, Hiding the pain,
Hiding the tears that falls like rain,
Saying I’m fine, when I’m anything but,
This ache in my soul rips out my gut,
My skin is on fire,
I burn from within,
This calm on my face is an suffocating sin,
The world must stay out,
I’ve built up a wall,
My fragile lie will collapse,
Should it ever fall,
Loneliness consumes me,
It eats away the year,
Until my life is swallowed,
By unending fears,
Waiting for someone to see I wear a mask,
And care enough to remove it,
Is it too much to ask?
