The Shell, Where I Can Breathe

I wish there was a shell In which I could hide, It seems as if things only Become worst and worst, I smile anyways so that No one knows So that no one questions, Because essentially they don't Care. I don't even want to cry, I just want to hide from this Reality that I oh so harshly see. What's next, death or a cup of tea? I just pray for the best because that all that I can do. I look up, I smile, and pray. Don't you see it in my eyes? This life I live, No one knows but some days I just wish to be free From people and eternally. People are everywhere And I just want to be alone. People here and there. People everywhere. Leave, please. Don't look at me in my eyes. They hold something that only my mind, spirit, and body Can bare. I don't want to be seen so hide me, please. Let me suffer alone and pretend everything's okay, To You.
