"I'm Alright"


I keep repeating that "I'm Alright." 
but, it's never really true.

I keep telling these lies that i 
wish people would just see thru.

Can you tell that i am hurting deep down 
where i feel so blue? 

My soul feeling almost empty as
my heart feels dead. 

I can't seem to speak the words 
i'm wanting to..

I've noticed that the darkness has taken my voice
and turned it into a silent scream..

My heart aching hoping you'd find 
the key... I'll wish on every full moon..
Soon come the day will you see me...
for who i really am...

Don't try walking in my shoes 
it's unnecessary since your... 
already hurting enough...

I've fallen to the ground 
but, it's not the first time since you 
haven't been around. 

I tried keeping up a smile but my dance 
shows the blind crowd the truth.

Looking back as my head tilted back.
As my scream burst into one big ROAR..
Hoping that it'd turn from silent to one big shriek. 

As the tears streamed down my face mixing with sweat
and my breathing becoming heavier.

Soon enough i find myself becoming blind and weak..
before i knew what i was thinking my mind went completely blank.

Only if then i could be in the clouds.. 
I would have noticed my body lying on the ground...

I Probably look pretty pathetic..
