The inside out


On the outside I'm calm, but really, I'm screaming I may look awake, but really, I'm dreaming All the things you see and know That's just the me i try to show On the outside, I smile, on the inside i cry I may look like i can't see past your lies There's more to me than you can see Now you know that i am free On the outside, i don't care, on the inside I'm sorry I may look okay, but really, I'm scarring From all the wounds opening From all the horrid memories On the inside, I'm a monster wishing to get out I look like an angel, now it's time to doubt Everything that you have seen is no longer the same Says the girl with multiple names
