Stop


You stand there alone Pushing everyone away You suffer on your own Yet dismiss anyone who wishes to stay You've built up walls around you A fortress no one could enter As the pain inside you grow The walls stack even higher You've built a mask of apathy Uncaring to those who goes near Yet when no one's around to see You break down in tears Why can't you see the light above you The sun that continues to shine Try reaching to the outstretched hands And stop living in a lie
