Oh, dear
I find I am quite frightened again
Inside I am quite a mess
Underneath the laughter I am nervous
Quite jealous
and afraid.
Im drawn into a laughing fit
I cannot control my emotions otherwise
For I have always been quite shy
Unable to express myself
Unheard and unseen
Nobody listens to me
My misery brings merriment
My struggle is silly
And my emotions mean nothing.
My mask mimics the natural smile others have
The happiness I want back.
I won't reveal my true response
Instead,
I'll hide behind the rocks.
