You think I'm happy,
I'm really not.
I lead you on with false lies,
Covering up what's inside with all smiles.
Outside, I appear light,
But inside, I'm black as night.
I try to keep positive,
but the darkness pulls me in;
The shadow of my past is suffocating.
It's like I'm in chains, and I can't get free,
No matter how many times I search for a key.
I try to forget, but it won't go away,
I don't know how I try, day by day.
I'm surprised I'm still here;
Although I want to give up.
I have to keep fighting,
A tragedy; I am not.
My family at the moment,
Their faces are enough;
The heartbreak I would cause,
Is holding me on pause.
With each day paused,
I think I'm closer to a key,
That will maybe someday,
Set me free.
