People Think Me Insane

And when I dance
people think me insane
for they cannot hear
the music

And when I laugh
strangers stop and stare
for they cannot hear
the story

And when I cry
friends leave me alone
for the cannot see
the pain

And when I smile
people walk right by
for they cannot see
your face
