I feel blue
Not because of you
But because of something
I made myself too
What did I do?
I Felt numb on the outside
While burning on the inside
Tears streaming down my face
I wipe them dry
Not leaving a trace
My emotions are tightly covered
Like a glass shield
Yet easy to break
But they keep me awake
Am I insane?
Does that give me a bad name
don’t judge me
don’t accuse me
I'm not the one to blame
I don’t feel blue
