The Voices of My Soul

Cracking

If you don't see a smile,

Don't assume I'm okay.

I might say I'm fine

I might push you away

But my soul is crying

My heart is breaking

And there's no longer a reason for me to stay.

I wish I was fine

I wish I was pretty

I wish I was alright

But under it all,

I'm not

Trust me, I'm not.

But I find the little reasons

I see they joy in life where I can

And hopefully it's enough

Don't worry

I think I'll stay

If only for a little while longer
