The Pain They Can't See

As I look across these tables
I see smiling faces
looking at me
I smile even though
I'm in pain
I try and be happy
even if it's fleeting
My closest friend doesn't even know
She is to busy with her life to see
That mine isn't whole
it's crumbling
No one knows
I'm dying inside
I hide it
I don't cry
I can't cry
Or else they will know
I'm not happy
I can't do that to my family
So I go on knowing
The life I wanted so long
Can't ever happen for me
