Sympathy

You feel so sorry for me,
you want to show your sympathy.
you keep telling me to smile,
you say life isnt always depressing and vile.
You tell me what I do is wrong,
You want me to just be strong.
But its not so easy all the time,
sometimes its like my life is a crime.
You want me not to cry,
you dont want me to die.
Dont feel bad for me,
I'm choosing to let this be.
Its me whose choosing to hide.
All my tears inside,
Behind my smile, behind my eyes,
is just a girl, whose soul cries.
