Lie
I feel depressed.
I just want to rest.
But I don’t protest.
So you wouldn’t have guessed.
I want to go home.
At recess I roam.
But I’m still alone.
Guess I’m on my own.
I sit here and think.
And I’m on the brink.
My smile will shrink.
So lower I sink.
You can’t read my thoughts.
My silence was taught.
Because those battles I fought,
Well their victory was bought.
I feel so lost.
My words were just tossed,
Because the truth was glossed,
And now I pay the cost.
No one understands,
My pride’s in my hands,
And my patience expands,
For all of the people that misunderstand.
But my eyes are dry,
You think that I’m shy,
My self-doubt is high,
Because it’s all a lie.
