Belong


“You don’t belong here” I’ve heard that all my life All my life I’ve put on a mask, Pretended it didn’t bother me I’ve plastered a smile across my face I push away the voice that says. “It’s true” Is this my fate? Must I continue to hold my tears? The darkness hides my shame As my voice gets weaker and weaker No one listens to me No one cares In the darkness of the night, I cry Because tomorrow, When the sun rises, I’ll pretend I’m happy
