Cover Up

I cry, I laugh I sniggle and giggle its a cover up for my pain they don't know I wanna scream I wanna shout I wanna run away I hide depression with a smile I hide saddness pretending to be gladness they think know me but they don't anger frustration, they don't see my clamation I'm at war with myself ,bucket full of tears overflowing at the top dreams of weary ,lessen of sleep drifting in and out nerves all about I laugh and smile goodmorning, hello, how do you do? I cover up my pain of emptiness and stains if they saw the real me they would call me crazy so I play the game they like to see I can't even reveal me the pain that lingers inside its a cover up for emptiness and saddness and the way I feel so I'll just shut up and cover up because thats the way I live..
