Maybe Is Just Not Good Enough

Maybe if I just shout it out loud
The pain that is screaming inside of me
I’ll finally understand why I cry at night

Maybe if I stopped smiling
Pretending for everyone else
I’ll finally see why I can’t be free

Maybe if I showed my scars
Of the pain I felt at night
I’ll finally find some peace

But sometimes, maybe
Just isn’t good enough
To survive

I must keep my lips shut
From the pain tortured inside
And continue to cry in fear

I’ll continue to smile
Keep on pretending I’m fine
And always stay locked inside

Keep my sleeves on so no one can see
The pain I felt at night
And continue to fight it at night

Because sometimes, maybe
Just isn’t good enough
To survive
