These Silent Tears

No one sees these silent tears
These tears I cry every night
I’ve cried for so many years
These tears that I try to fight

This pain that I try to hide
Each day behind a fake smile
Acting with every stride
Even if it’s just a while

People playing with my mind
People playing with my heart
When they have all crossed the line
Again my world is torn apart

With these feelings deep inside
So deep that they can’t be shown
With these tears that I have cried
They remain forever unknown

In my heart I hold some hope
In my soul I hold some faith
With all this, I wish I cope
With all this, I wish I’m safe

With this hope and faith I own
I dream that I will survive
That I will find my way home
Or at least to stay alive

With these silent tears I cry
And this hope that I have gained
I know I can always try
To try to keep me safe from pain
