I am the One

I am the One who wakes up like you

Who eats, and walks, and does the things you do

I am the One who sits there and class

Taking notes beside you as time seems to slowly pass

I am the One who smiles in your face 

And tells you that my weekend was great

While you reply with with a mimic smile and a small head shake

Yet...I am the One who knows how to lie

Who has to be strong though I just want to cry

Who doesn't see the board cause I'm too busy quaking

For something in my mind tells me I need to be shaking

I am the One who inches from your touch

Because in my mind you're a monster that from my soul I should rush

I am the One who though wants a good rest

Stays awake all night from this unexplained stress

I am the One who suffers in silence

Because talking would get me killed....at least that's what my mind says
