I smile
I laugh
I even look happy
But deep down inside,
I hurt
I feel lost
and depressed
I don't want to be living
I hide all my feelings
to fit in with the rest
My reality
is really just a fucked up dream
When I smile,
I'm really hurting
When I laugh,
I'm really dying
I've done this,
"hiding my soul"
for so long now
I don't know
how to tell anybody
how I feel.
The wall that is built around my soul
was built too strong
And I am afraid
that when I finally have the strength
to break the wall apart
I will be too weak
and it will be too late
for anyone to help me
to guide me through the rest of my life
without the wall around my soul
Open.
Free.
Dead.

Sure I get 'I love you' s everyday
But do they really love me?
The real me I mean.
The one that's bottled up inside
Ready to explode.
How can they love me so
when they don't even know me?
Every morning I put on my smile
and walk into school.
Everyone thinks my life is peachy keen
But it's not
Sure I laugh all the time
and don't act like I'm not there
I don't always pick to sit
in the back of the room
with all the cobwebs
So I hide my image
and all my feelings
So everyone loves the mask that they see
And don't really know the actual me
The only soul who knows all my secrets
is my cat.
She's the only one who will listen
The only one who cares
The only one who loves me
