I am being held hostage 

sometimes everyday 

maybe every other month 

my mouth is being held shut 

words aren't being said 

because of the fear of being called a liar

seeking for attention 

even though that's the opposite of what I want 

my eyes are red 

you assume i'm high

but really my tears have kept me up all night

put on a smile 

say you're fine 

and no one will assume otherwise
