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
