I'm Trying

I'm Trying

I'm trying my best to smile

When all I want to do is cry,

Thanks to you

This is an act I've mastered

To hide what I feel inside.

I'm trying to block it out

But the word worthless is ringing through my brain

Because that's how you make me feel

And now I'll never be the same.

I'm trying to hold back the tears

Because I don't want to let you win,

To give you the satisfaction

Of seeing me hurt again.

Really, all I'm doing

Is trying to move on

But it is so much harder

Than I first thought.
