The smile on my face hides so much
Hides the tears I shed every night
Those long sleeves cover so much
Covering my scars from the battle I fight
The clothes I wear hide the evidence
Evidence of all the meals I skip
The sound of laughter fallows wherever I go
But inside I'm screaming over the the voices I hear
There is a kind of light in my eyes
To cancel the blackness inside
I help others feel happy
So they don't feel the sad I feel
People can tell I'm a fighter
But I've lost the battle inside
I smile and laugh
But inside, the monsters have won
I am nothing but a broken shell
Just a shadow on the wall
But I put on a fake personality
So others don't see
The black hole sucking the life out of me
