I Can But I'M Not

I can smile, I am happy I’m able not to cry, I’m not weak I can fight, I am brave I can endure, I am strong But am I really? I’m still living in lies Always escaping in truth I’m still fighting in life Without knowing the reason behind I’m standing in too much pain I’m not strong I’m just pretending I keep smiling, pain is hiding I’m screaming inside I am tired with this I’m already dead I have nothing I am a butterfly with one week life I am a bird with one wing to fly I am a fish without gills to dive I am a frog without legs to jump I am a joke without punch line I am a car without engine I am a piece of crap that nothing want to pick I am a piece of **** that no one can trust no one can love I am miserable I am a worst person I am trying not to be I did everything But I’m coming back to this I’m always coming up empty I’m always coming up undone
