She's afraid of her mind so she keeps thoughts inside
no one will understand, so why even try?
just swallow them. Be alone and cry.
Read self help books, be a good friend
smile, hide, bury yourself, pretend.
Get relief- hide, cry and do it all again.
Until one day, cracks are too big to mask
tears shine through, and she clearly sees.
How can they care for me,or help, she asks
for i have hid myself, my pain, my tears.
All they know is the mask.
Not knowing the struggle to cover
Dark thoughts, tears, guilt and shame never expressed.
swallowed and silenced for no gain. what cold cruel pain!
Tormented, alone and silent with a broken mask and a shattered spirit.
shes only seeking a friend.
