You don't know


Don't tell me you know 

When you don't

You don't know what keeps me up at night

Or how many demons I have to fight

You don't know many times I have to lie 

Telling them I'm fine

You don't know the voices in my head repeating

What other have said

You know the brave face but, you don't know

That under that's not the case

You think I'm out of place but, I have no place

I'm just a waste of space
