Inside
During the day I smile
People can see my fake joy from miles away
They are unable to see what's really going on
My smile hides the sorrow I feel on the inside
The depression that eats away at my real happiness
The thoughts that haunt me at night
They can only see the subtle physical scars
Like the cuts that were made by my blade
My way of relief
My addiction that I can't stop
No matter how hard I try
I could go a month but there may be one day of pain
Where I only see one relief
My scares share a story
A story I cant seem to speak
A story that burns my soul
My heart
And my mind
On the inside I am a mess
A mess that can never be seen
