When the heart betrays

Never notice

They can never notice

How sad we are inside

One day laughing with friends

The next trying to hide

How is it that we can act so happy

To make others think we are well

With so much stress brought upon

To make us cry and yell

They don't feel

Our aching bones

They don't know that

We feel alone

And if I told you I wasn't ok

Would you hear my pleading call?

If I shouted would you try?

If I was silent would you hear my tears fall?

But they can't understand

What is happening in my head

Because they don't know how it feels

To already be dead
