Disheartened

I’m depressed, inside slowly dying

But you can't see what I don't show,

My tear stains, hidden from crying

You don't realize or even know.

All you see is the mask I put on,

The phony laugh and fake smile

Only to my lie are you drawn.

For the real me is to vile

If I showed you what under it lies
,
The hurt and pain

You would understand the reason I hide.

The reason why I feel insane
