Too afraid

I always come out laughing

Wearing a thousand masks on my face.

To hide the hurts I pretend

‘cause I’m too afraid to show the pain.

 

I used to laugh at my stupidity

Yet my tears are falling secretly.

I used to keep what I feel inside

‘cause I’m too afraid they won’t understand.

 

Some says that I have no doubts

But the me behind me is crying out.

They don’t know that the me they see

Is too afraid to show the real me.

 

I smile though I’m not alright

Just to console my broken heart.

I tried to close my eyes ‘cause I’m

Too afraid to know I wasn’t on the right track.

 

But now I’m already stranded

Don’t know where to go.

Too many people but no one could guess

That I’m too afraid to become someone else.
