Tear Stained Cheeks And Bloodshot Eyes

Nobody Knows

Nobody knows how different I am.

The outside of me is not afraid,

Not full of pain, or even ashamed.

I smile and all of those ignorant fools believe,

Of course nothing could be wrong with me.

My eyes are dry, I do not shed tears.

For that gift was taken away from me dear.

I laugh and talk and play along,

Keep on existing as if nothings wrong.

Nobody knows how different I am.

The inside of me is hollow and empty,

Do not fret my dear, for I do not want your pity.

I'm tattered and broken beyond repair,

My heart is crumbling and full of despair.

I'm bloodied and beaten and not really living.

I just go through the motions and continue existing.

I'm scared and lost, clueless as can be,

Is there no one out there to help me?

Nobody knows how different I am

And that will never change.
