Janus


To smile well depressed is such a strange feeling
look to for help yet your external emotions are concealing
alone once again

Be a third wheel in your own relationships
unable to express what really happening
watch as life pushes you to set sail on your own ship

With nobody there but everyone around
falling into the abyss the cuts
so little compares to the mental scars

Different from the others in every
to have no borders yet be close up
smile when you cry inside

There is hope from within even living a double life
where you is not you but some how made this far
as it moves and flips it will all end
