Just a Disguise

Should I stay quiet or speak out
Should i keep it in, and not make a sound
If i open up, and tell the truth
Will people be concerned

I don't wish to keep it inside
I don't wish to speak my mind
I don't want to talk about my life
Again I find a place to hide

My emotional state is so bad
I cant believe i don't wish to live,
How can this be happening,
Its like a nightmare that I live.

I wish i can open my eyes,
and say it is a dream
But in reality, its all for real
Maybe one day, i can forget it
And move on with my life

But until that happens
My life is a lie
People see me and don't realize
What they see is just a disguise
