Eccedentesiast

Eccendentesiast: Noun- A person who hides their pain behind a smile.

The voices in my head scream and shout.
They cause doubt throughout.
They downgrade me.
There are two of them and they never agree.
They won't let me be.
So I become an Eccedentesiast.

The voices in my head scream and shout.
They cause doubt throughout.
Always fighting in my head,
Making me wish I was dead.
They try to tear me to shreds.
So I become an Eccedentesiast.

The voices in my head scream and shout.
They cause doubt throughout.
I don't scream or shout,
I don't let it all out.
I fear it's something I'll never be without.
So I become an Eccedentesiast .

The voices in my head scream and shout.
They cause doubt throughout.
I hide my pain behind a smile,
Hoping you'll believe it for awhile,
I am not in denial,
I am just an Eccedentesiast.
