Society looks down on crying, As if it were a sin. So I laugh, Despite my pain, So I wont hurt within. They all think I'm happy, 'Cause I can laugh all day long. But if they'd look deeper, They could see that they are wrong. 'Cause sometimes, it gets so lonely, When no one knows just how I feel. But, I try to laugh it off as if This depression isnt real. I get so low sometimes, Its a shame no one could see. Just how close, This pain comes to killing me. And when the knife is down for good, I smile like its okay. And maybe even joke about The shit that went down that day. 'Cause since I've built this wall, I shouldnt tear it apart. Its like a cement barrier To protect words from my heart. And to protect me from the pain thats inflicted on me, From people who treat me like dirt. Im just like every other teen out there except, I smile when I hurt.
Reason for writing:
No one knows who I really am because I cover my real self up with jokes and smiles. pretty self explanatory
