Hide & Seek


 

It's funny how people think I'm a really strong person and nothing bothers me.

I'm always smiling, trying to be the happiest person I can be.

I hide behind fake smiles & "I'm fine"

But if you really got to know me & took a look inside-

My world is a mess;

Sometimes I can't cope with all the drama & stress.

Scattered thoughts throughout my mind,

With no one to turn to I feel so confined.

Good laughs and friends get me through the day

Yet nobody knows that I have so much to say.
