Realities
You build up a wall to shield you from your cruel reality
Deep inside you know you’re just plain wrong
All you do is just hurt those you want to help
So you build a new persona
A person that hides behind a fake smile
A person that just always seems happy
Yet deep inside you just aren’t you anymore.
Your laughter covers up your screams
Your jokes cover up your true words
Yet no one seems to realize who you really are.
They just all seem to play along…
It just all seems so right
That break apart from that person seems so hard.
But you know that no one can know you’re broken and in pain…
