Hiding the hurt;
Hiding the pain.
Hiding the tears;
That fall like rain.
Saying "I'm fine";
When I'm anything but.
This ache inside my soul;
Rips at 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;
Should it ever fall.
Loneliness consumes me;
It eats away the years.
Until my life is swallowed;
By unending fears.
Waiting for someone to see;
I wear my mask.
And care enough to remove it;
Is that too much to ask?
