Inside
No one knows who I am inside,
My true feelings I hide,
Outside you see bright eyes,
It's all just lies,
A smile covers my face,
My heart is screaming to get out this place,
I'm tough and stand my ground,
Because inside I can't make a sound,
I feel empty here and there,
Sometimes so much pain I can't bare,
My heart is heavy and cold,
Intense pressure I just might fold,
Loneliness fills me within,
Somehow I still grin,
Emptiness tries to consume my soul,
Won't suck me thru that black hole,
Fighting the demons deep inside,
No place I can run or hide,
Reality keeps pulling me down,
Head under water I might drown,
Hard to breath unable to speak,
Inside I feel so weak,
Thoughts so deep so raw so real,
Numb inside I just want to feel,
Playing the game is the only way to survive,
Each day I'm given a reason to thrive,
Two little babies with beautiful smiles,
Just for them all worth wild,
Every 16hr shift and sleepless night,
Is nothing as long as they sleep tight,
They won't see the world through my eyes,
All the heart ache all the drama and lies,
A world so cold cruel and dark,
This I promise to leave my mark...
