I’m laughing on the outside, my smile only skin deep.
The leap from happiness to sadness isn’t very steep.
When I’m alone, I drown myself in tears,
Constantly counting every one of my fears.
And every night I wake up, screaming from a dream.
I look around my room, nothing’s as it seems.
Sometimes, the only safe place is in my head,
Then I prove myself wrong, that’s where it started.
All these thoughts, swirling in my mind,
Sadness is there, happiness I can’t find.
No one seems to notice, no one seems to care,
Maybe because I hide it, life isn’t always fair.
