Trying to lie behind these eyes and rest my weary soul
If cracks appear in my foundations fall into the hole
I feel fine a line I say I make the people laugh
How someone can so upbeat be beaten broke in half
I tear myself like fabric frays the loose bits I burn down
On the outside perfect silk could never make you frown
And extra lock is added to secure my broke emotion
My smile slowly poisons me but there is no fixing potion
I’m over my depression now, I no longer feel anxious
My head stands on the sky edge just willing me to push
I keep making me step down again, to lift you others up
you’re happy when I’m happier, glass empty lost the cup
If my feet will fail me, I may find that I may slip
Or if I smile much longer, I may be the final tip
So another lock is added, to secure the darker mind
I strap my smile to my face to please those of my kind
My tears run down inside me, me inward screams vibrate
I push out all the happiness, and suppress my growing hate Exterior walls shows signs of stress, the eyes of wear and tear I smile and you smile with me, but I no longer care
If I step off from this ledge a chance is there I’ll fly
But if I push much past this edge I think I’ll probably die.
