Alone

They see me, A happy girl! Smiling, joking, laughing But they don't know. That it's just an illusion. They can't feel How sad I am. On the inside I'm crying, On the inside I'm dying, Petals of my flower of hope Are gone... The tears are streaming down my face, My mind is trying to find a happy place, But it's long long gone, Lost in life's teasing song. I go to school, I act happy. Even if I explained, They wouldn't care. But there's nothing to explain, Nothing good I'd gain. They think everything's cool, But I'm just going 'long like a mule... I feel so alone, Me myself and I, Cruising along on the harsh Path of life! Alone...
