I'M Not You You Are Me

My heart is closed theirs no despair.
You won't get in not anywhere.

This smile is mine and mine alone.
Solitude I stay i must atone.

The weight of my burden crushes my core.
But I remain here evermore.

Content my dreams are real to me.
This is my gift for all to see.

My lips they quiver and sight it fades.
And here I'll rest within the shades.
