How can you be happy?

I don't understand how

Everyone can be so happy

With a smile upon their face

And a twinke in their eye.

But maybe inside they're like me:

Happy on the outside but terrified inside,

Only smiling to make other's happy and

not really taking the time to care for ourselves.

I want to scream and shout just to

 let my woes pour from my volcano

Of emotions. I want to be still.

I need to be calm

I cannot stay hidden behind this facade.

I'm too afraid to carry on much longer.

I don't know what I should do but very

soon my worries will erupt.
