beyond the surface
You look beyond the surface
 To see whats inside
 You notice I’m not okay
 But I always act like I’m fine
 You always see the tears in my eyes
 But I smile to cover it up
 I use a mask to hide my pain
 That always dwells inside of me
 No matter how hard I try
 I always resort back to my pain inside
 My mind is going insane
 It feels like I’m living in shame
 And people always kick me when I’m down
 It seems I live on the ground 
 But when I reach out for help
 Nobody’s around
 I’m always alone
 People constantly ask me if I’m okay
 Well, NO! I’m not!
 I repeat again and again
 I’m always on the run
 And no matter what I do
 Its always wrong
 So instead of asking if I’m fine
 Look beyond the surface 
 Into my darkened life
 And learn the really 
 Reason why
 I’m not all right.
