So easy to hide
Just with a smile
And a few jokes
What I don't want
Anyone to know.
I'm falling apart
Shattering into pieces
I didn't think
This could be happening
But it is
My confidence is gone again
Can't even take a test
I'm too afraid to fail it.
Hiding it with a sigh
Rolling my eyes
And laughing it off
"I'm just stressed"
That's the best
That's the most
I'll ever say
Cause I don't feel safe
Saying another word
I won't go further
Taking up space and time
With these problems of mine.
It's a burden
I don't want to give
To anyone at this point
I've put everyone through
So much already
I'm taking the focus off me
I'm coping
By hiding
Sometimes I stay away
Pull back each day
So you don't see the full effect
Of what you don't want to get.
