Be Still
I fake a smile
So no one sees
The hurt and pain
That’s killing me
Theres no one to tell
No one to confide
I think I’ll just stay here
Ball up and hide
Thin
Close to breaking
Fading smiles
I’m faking
They begin to crack
And underneath
My fear
And silent
Screaming teeth
Demons
Under the fasade of me
Shadows
In the heart of me
The pain is mine
Slowly it kills
I just want to stay here
And be really still
