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