Happy is a lie

by Chelsea   Jan 29, 2007


The night slowly fades
as my sky seems so grey
i feel so alone
like my heart isn't whole

I am hurting on the inside
crying on the out
not a day goes by
when theres not a tear I cry

the mascara keeps running
and i want to keep cutting
but i dont want to die
i just want to not have to make being happy a lie

everyone sees a smile
but have they ever tried looking deep down
i am dying and no one sees
that in the tears i want to drown.

    Great and sad. I know, it's so dumb that my friend would date my ex. Ugh, all I could do was cry. :( Thanks for everything though :)
