One day soon

How can I write about happiness?
When everything around me is fake?
How can the world keep on turning?
Surely it’s all a mistake?
Why are my eyes full of tears?
When people ignore me I cry,
People would be shocked to hear it
Because I’m the master of disguise.
I’m acting like I have loads of friends
I’m acting like people I know care,
Truth is I’m lonely y’see
And nobody is fully aware.
Can you truly ever know someone?
When you keep painful memories within ,
The world only sees what you show it
And I really don’t know where to begin.
I’m hoping that one day soon
When my feelings are a little more clear,
I’ll of stopped hiding away
And will no longer be living in fear.
My heart wants to live everyday 
My mind wants to lock me inside,
Time to let my heart rule my head now
Enjoy life and live it with pride.
