Words

By rondant

Trapped in a world I cannot escape
I hide my pain with a smile
It's hard to get by, but i stay in shape
'Cause breaking down is not my style.

My pain is mine to conceal
Because you cannot deal
NO I won't reveal
This pain that I feel.

It's true I have my friends
And I have my pride
But my friends cannot comprehend
This pain that's deep inside.

Within these walls I've spent years
Just holding on by a thread
Trying to errase all my fears
But the pain remains in my head.

I'll drown in my own sorrow
I'll waste away and decay
For there is no hope for tomarrow
When I live like this everyday.

Deep inside I hide my pain
Always fighting against the clock
You will never hear me complain
For I am solid as a rock.

This life is twisted, even bent
We are all intertwined
Am I crazy?...Yeah, to an extent
I need to go unwind.

I just want to thank you
The words you said made me glad
The truth was long over due
NO!!...Of course i'm not mad.

I have very little emotion
Please try not to stare
This world is full of commotion
I just try to be sincere.
