Why can't you hear my scream
Pleas for you to return
My cry for help
Am I truly invisible to you, all you see is my mask
Plastered smile
My “I'm fine, how are you?”
I am struggling
Drowning in life
Breathing in toxic lies
Can you not see my tears?
Feel the sobs coming from my soul.
I am hurting
Breaking into pieces
I'll never be the same
Pleas for you to return
My cry for help
Am I truly invisible to you, all you see is my mask
Plastered smile
My “I'm fine, how are you?”
I am struggling
Drowning in life
Breathing in toxic lies
Can you not see my tears?
Feel the sobs coming from my soul.
I am hurting
Breaking into pieces
I'll never be the same
