Hiding

I have been kind of a hypocrite lately. 

I have been hiding my problems,

Showing the world that I am stronger than I actually am.

 

I hide behind my smile.

I hide behind my confidence.

I hide behind the person I wish I was, but will never be.

 

I realized that hiding isn\'t right, but am I wrong for it?

I hide to ensure my problems won\'t engulf me,

And maybe it is okay to not dwell on my problems.

 

Behind the smile, my heart isn\'t hurting,

Behind my confidence, my mind isn\'t racing,

And maybe its easier to not let my problems hurt me.

 

So yeah, I do strive for a better me,

But I lack the strength of the person I portray.

So no, I am not put together, yet I am not falling apart.
