I am...

I am human

I wonder if anyone sees through the masks

I hear the cries at night

I see the scars that life leaves behind

I pretend to smile, even when I can't

I feel alone even when people are all around

I touch the hearts of others when I can't touch my own

I worry that I am a burden to everyone

I cry when I know no one is watching

I am crushed by expectations

I understand that everyone has bad days

I say that I'm fine, dying more each and every time

I dream of days I don't feel like the world is caving in around me

I try to resist the urge to mask emotions with pain

I hope no one can see through my mask

I am human

A/N

This shall now become a thing where I give you some sort of backstory, at least on some of them. This one was written on a whim. I was bored, feeling down and this was the product. Not my favorite work but eh.
