Mask

Just smile and wave,
pretend everything's okay.
Don't let them see you down.
They won't listen to the sound,
of a borken soul screaming.

Just a whisper it is to them,
a broken seam of a hem.
Knowing it's there,
but not giving a care.
Turning heads with disregard.

So why bother trying,
when you only feel like dying.
Staying alone, locked away,
trying to keep the tears at bay,
While the fear sets in.

Fear of being alone forever?
or of loving someone never?
So smile and wave,
pretend it's all okay.
Life will soon be over.
