I walk down these streets
These school halls
And they are full of people
All laughing
All smiling
All joyful
Undying…
Undying happiness
There are so many people everywhere I am
But I still feel so abandoned
So alone, so unknown
And I smile back at them all
I laugh with them
I joke with them
So they’ll never see that around them
I feel so small
So helpless
So empty
Though I’m always attempting
To be one of them
Sometimes my mask slips
And underneath is the sad face
That cries occasionally
And occasionally dies
The one that can’t seem to take it all
The one who’s sure that she’s going to fall
Because there is something
That’s killing my heart and my soul
But what it is
I truly don’t know…
But it stabs me and wounds me the most
When I walk among all of these people
Amongst all these smiles
And all of the laughter…
It makes me sink and sink and sink
Until there is nothing left to do
But sit alone
In a crowd of friends who will never know
That under this happy face
There lies a broken soul.
