The Zoo

I am crying
Yet no-one can hear

I am dying
yet no-one can see

Why is there nobody looking at me?

I fake a smile
I utter a line

I put on a act
Of course i am just fine

Please look deeper
I am calling out for you

I am now scared and tired
I am trapped in my Zoo

I can not escape
I can not breath
I wait for the day
Watching them people grieve

Do not feel guilty
Yet i did try and tell
But now at least i have escaped
from my personnel Hell.
