I Need Some Time

I laugh when I mean to cry, I smile when I mean to frown, I stay alive, Although I am dead inside. I am not the person you see, That is not the real me. I am working hard to kill that person, So I can become who you want me to be, But it’s just so hard, I need some time, Just a bit more time, The person hidden deep beneath is nearly gone, It will only take a while, I promise, So please, Just give me a little more time.
