It’s burning you from the inside out…
Keep up that smile, keep up the friendly grin,
And if you want to scream out loud,
Bury it inside of you, do it with the face pressed firmly against your already wet pillow.
Maybe you can afford a hint of sadness in your big eyes,
Since nobody seems to care about your feelings,
They don’t see behind the façade,
Shallow and selfish, shadows of their own lives….
So you’re sitting there, cringed in the corner,
Gasping for air, your lungs might explode if you won’t breathe…
The temptation to embrace the welcoming darkness is strong
But so is your will, you’ll straighten yourself and be the happy, funny girl that everybody knows…
But of course nobody will ever see the truth, your mask is flawless…
