fine
I'm fineyeah, right
so why
are there tears
behind my eyes?
why is there
a lump in my throat
I can't swallow down?
why am I
hiding?fine
I'm fineyeah, dream on
so why do I run out?
seek the shadows?
escape the crowd?fine
I'm finemaybe if I say it enough times
it will come trueI'm fine
look into my eyes
can you see that I'm lying?
no
you smile
oblivious
I have become too good
at fooling other peoplewhere does the mask end?
I don't know anymorepeople are too easy to fool
especially if they
have other things to dothey're not to blame
I am
but I'm too afraid
to take off the mask
what if they don't care?
it would make it worse
for me
much worseI don't want to be a bother
waste your time
put you in a spotI nod and smile
have you noticed
that I don't laugh anymore?
that my eyes
contradict my words?
fine
I'm fineplease
pleasehear
seeI'm lying to you
please
just hug me and say
I know you're not
