Unseen Tears

I cry tears
That no one can see
They are invisible
To everyone but me 

The reason why
No one can see the tears
Is because they've been hidden
Inside all these years 

Tears are ever falling
Inside of this body
But they are hidden
From any and everybody 

The crying 
Has never ceased
In fact it seems
To have increased 

This happy face 
Is just a way
To mask the tears
That I cry each day 

One day I'll be happy
Inside and out
Be genuinely happy
Without any doubt 

But until then
Tears will flow
Inside of me
And no one will know
