My Hurt
My hurt is like no other
It's realer than any smile
It's realer than any laugh
blinded to the public
so only I can see its path
everyone thinks "I'm Okay"
people ask
but never stay
people believe
but never say
"You're lying"
is it because
they really don't know?
or
is it because
they really don't care?
I'm covering my hurt
with temporary happiness
as if it was a band-aid
but when that happiness wares off
like every other drug does
I feel lower
than where I started off at
I'm drowning
in a 3ft pool
of my own thoughts
but I'm 5ft
I just need to stand up
easy advice to give
right?
but so much harder
to follow
my eyes are open
I can see the problem
but I can't see
the problem disappearing
atleast
not anytime soon..
