Even though it looks like I'm fine and everything's going great, it's not.
Everyone only sees the outer layer - the tip of the iceberg.
Nobody has ever seen the inside of me enough to understand who I really am.
I am broken on the inside.
I try to keep it together and everyone believes me enough not to question it.
I feel like I am going to have to hold it inside forever because I'm not understood.
People say I have nothing to hide. They have expectations that are too high for me.
I am broken on the inside.
I trick all my friends into thinking everything is okay by smiling and laughing.
I try to look happy and walk around like nothing's bothering me, like nothing's in my way.
But nobody understands what is really happening in my head, in my heart.
I am broken in the inside.
If I revealed my deepest secrets, I know many people would be shocked.
They don't know how long I have been keeping to myself, pretending everything's okay.
If you would come into my head, my heart, just enough to see who I really am.
I am broken on the inside.
Even though it looks like I'm 'out there,' I'm hiding from myself and from the world.
I'm scared the I'd anyone finds out, I won't be able to keep it together.
I'm not strong enough to hold all of this inside of me.
I am broken on the inside.
I try, really try to hold it all together and not break down in front of everyone.
I keep asking myself if I have to hold it in forever or if I can open up.
I'm not perfect. Everyone has their secrets and imperfections - the fact is, I can't do this by myself.
I am broken on the inside.
********
That is a fact for everyone. No one can go through life alone like that. Everyone has their secrets and imperfections. I can guarantee that someone out there has gone through/is going through something similar, or even the same thing.
