Question?

I can see you running
but why have you turned back
must your heart make excuses for you

I can see you speaking
but why not any sound
have your mind taken over you 

I can see you crying
but why are you smiling
must your sorrows demand plenty of you

I can see you
and now you are laughing
but your head is still hanging down....
