My smile hides my tears. My laugh hides my screams. It's been this way for years. Things aren't as they seem. I always seem so happy With not a care in the world. But you should know, sadly Many things go untold. Nobody really knows me. They only know my cover. But I wish I could let it free Let them know what's under But instead, I practice My smiles in my mirror. Then the next thing I do is Make my fake laugh clearer What is wrong? You need help? Is all they will ask. So I have decided To live behind a mask.
