This is Easy
May 22, 2015
I bite my lip, trying to get a grip
I push the words back in and put on a grin
I pull down my long sleeves, wishing he would eave
I can’t let him in, I can’t let him see
What this world has done to me
I play pretend, finally knowing how to blend in
As I fade into the background, I find it’s easier to backdown
When these demons scream so loud and no one is ever proud
I let my head sink down, drowning in my hidden frown
No one can see, no one can know me,
This is easy…
