The Darkness of My Room
I cry in the darkness of my room.
So no one can see me hurting.
The pain gets worse everyday.
I`m hiding because I`m afraid to let you know.
Inside I`m crying all the time.
But I lie and smile for you.
Secretly wishing you knew.
I am screaming out for help
In my own hopeless mind.
I`m trying to fight it on my own,
But I can`t fight this alone.
Inside I know I can`t.
But as stubborn as I am I won`t give up.
Acting like every things fine,
I smile as you walk by.
Who am I protecting?
You or myself?
I smile for you and no body else.
I know if you find out you`ll
know
that I am weak.
You`ll take advantage or turn the other cheek.
So I hide.
I cry in the darkness of my room.
So no one can feel my pain.
I know I can`t fight this on my own.
But I won`t give up.
