The world seems as if it’s caving in on me,
and everyone says "How can that be"?

You say it seems like I am doing just fine-
and that’s what I tell you when you ask-
but what you see on the outside,
is something people call a mask.

I wear it around people-
to cover up how I really feel inside,
so I guess in a way you can say that I lied.

I don’t like to lie to people,
but could you honestly say-
that you would sit and listen to me,
if I told you I wasn’t ok?

Would you be like other people-	
and say you wont hurt me in any kind of way, 
then promise me your not like the rest-
and that your here to stay.

Then as soon as I get the courage-
and start to let some of my feelings show,
   you tell me that your sorry-
but now you have to go.
