Dying Inside
Breaking down within,
Tears only felt and never seen,
My strength is underestimated,
To them I am a machine
My heart is in 1000 pieces,
But they will never know,
For to them I am a fortress,
No emotion will I show
I smile although I am hurt,
I laugh when I want to cry,
A facade is what I wear as a mask,
When I feel like I am dying inside
Instead of steady brick,
My emotional walls are made of sand,
I have been told I seem to confident,
But my worth I can measure in the palm of a childs hand
Like the night sky...
So starless in the city,
Dark depths always seem to surround
the girl I once knew as "Me"
