Hoping


I am not what i'm appearing to be

My face showing smiles masking everything

i am now hiding in my own reality

i have forced myself to believe anything

Because the real world causes my nightmares

Everything is starting to become dark

I'm starting to doubt someone ever cared

I'm wishing I could hear the mourning lark

Nobody ever thinks that I am in hell

My mask is breaking into peices

My sanity is starting to resell

Though my smiles are starting to regress

I'm hoping one day i can still be saved

Else the rest of my sanity will cave
