I’m the kind of girl,
who has one feeling
But shows a lie.

I show myself as a happy girl,
Smile on my face
It’s a lie,

Some people can tell
But most can’t
I have them fooled,
Wishing I could show them,
But never did
Never will.

I am a sad girl
Full of confusion
And pain.
I cry myself to sleep
Worried about tomorrow and days to come
And the horrors they will bring.
also the lies I will have to tell people
So I don’t bring them down…

I’ve been taught to put people first
And I do soo,
Everyday and my feelings.
I will never show my real side
I will live a lie,
Until I change
When shall that happen? ?
