Who Am I

My life is a smokescreen
You can’t see me
I hide behind dark glasses
Of bright smiles and glee

You can’t find me
When you’re looking around
Because deep down inside me
That’s where I’m found

Down in the dungeon
Of damp dark despair
So don’t think you know me
Because I’m not up there

Where did I get lost?
I really don’t know
My life I wish gone
But I don’t let it show

The world is a cruel place
Of sharp pains and old hurts
It’s all of my memories
That keep in my thoughts
