‘What’s up with you?’ is what the teacher asks
Oh no. The pain’s been seen through my mask
I say ‘Nothing. Nothing. I am just fine’
But they know that I’ve lied to them another time
I turn around with a smile on my face
So there’s nothing to see and nothing to trace
But they carry on and pressure me more
It then becomes something I just can’t ignore
Why can’t they leave me alone, let me free
From the real world and who I don’t want to be
The questions bring up feelings I want to keep down
Things that make me sad and things that make me frown
They don’t understand how I feel inside
That’s the reasons why I’ve always lied
No matter what they say to you or me
The pain and hurt they will never see
And no matter how many questions, they’ll never find
The answers to my problems spinning in my mind
So that it why my brand new life is a fake
But I must do it for my very own sake
