Feels Just Like It Should
It's difficult to act
like you care
difficult to pretend
you're okay
When things are down
and all you see is red
it's hard to keep
that itching smile
pasted on your face
When all you want to do
is destroy someone
you love
just to get what you
"deserve"
it's so painful to act
like nothing is wrong
I've got a drawer full of faces
and a closet filled with glue
When another hard time comes
I choose
which face
to use.
angry -- red -- fiery eyes
double-tongued
I'm aching inside
depressing -- blue -- dried up tears
sleep-deprived senses
I run from my fears
Gleeful -- pink -- painted on blush
a perfect smile
I feel so rushed
Hundreds of faces
and nobody sees
who I am
and how I feel
one small crack
in my steel mask
and my life will be over
yet no one cares to ask
how I feel
and nobody sees
the real me
It takes so little to hurt me
so much to uplift me
my smile is dieing
and nobody sees
I'm rotting inside
no one cares
about the real me
