Not For Me But For You

Location

Just because I act the way I act

Doesn't mean I really feel it on the inside

Life is an act, a play, a show

Having the bumpy adventures of a roller coaster ride.

Someone once told me that if our heart says it

What we actually say out of our mouths doesn't matter.

To hide my emotions I play along with everyone

With laughter, jokes and irrelevant chatter.

My emotions usually get the best of me

Sometimes I refer to myself as emotionally unstable

Like a graceful flower that dances in the wind

Who is gentle but at the same time, fatal.

I use my mask to make sure the people around me

Do not worry about me all the time

Not necessarily for my own good

But to ensure them that I'm just fine

I'm not really sure if this is healthy or not

For me and my mental and emotional state

But I do it for the people I love and I care about

Will I stop? We'll leave the decision to fate.
