They think, My life is perfect But what they don't see Is how the tears flow When my day is through I have taken the place Of all the dead-beat dads The druggy moms So I hear them all cry During the school day I feel all they do, In my heart. Because I love them all. Maybe not the person But the soul Who hasn't forgotten to cry They think I don't have any problems Because I am there when they cry And never let them see How many shards of life Like a broken bottle, Are running through my veins They think my life is good And tell me all the time How calm and happy I look Well they don't see me When Rashi yells And I run to my room Crying out why Do I have to hear all this pain They think I have never cried in school But they don't now about the times Someone else's pain Has been channeled into me And I just begin to cry I never know who's it is I guess I never will But its good that it was me And not someone who would Never hear the end of it They think my life if perfect My eyes always dry But I've never let them see me When i begin to cry.Birth sign: Cancer
