Wish You Were Here

This is the loudest scream
You have ever heard
Even laughing and smiles
Cannot cover this one
It can only cover the pain
And the hurt built up inside
For so long
The longest time ever
Can you hear it?
It can only be heard
If you open your eyes
And stop being so much
Like everybody else
I should forget it
Because you will
Never want to be yourself
You will never want to be
Only you
