Tears stream down your face
with the everyday burden of life
you try as hard as possible
to not let people know
what crap you're going through
you act the opposite of how you feel
not wanting anyone to see inside
to see what's really hidden
underneath all the layers of guilt
they ask what's wrong
and you really want to let it all out
but to you, letting them know
is a burden that weighs you down
always wanting to be there for others
acting like the innocent, quiet one
when there's millions of voices
just wanting to be heard
above everything else
but you keep quiet
because that's how you are
you keep everything bottled up inside
even though you're dying to let it out.
