Keep Living


Sometimes life is kinda hard, 

Do you know what I mean?

Like you try to take a deep breath in 

But you end up trying not the scream?

And you might see your closest friend doing great

And hey, yeah, that's great!

You want to feel proud

But your head is not around because 

Its out on its own wishing 

Someone could've known 

The pain you were busy hiding behind 

Wide smiles and loud laughs. 

But, well, that's that.
