The Tears

I wish I didn't have to hide
That my tears weren't like the plague
The salty warmth streaming down my face
And everyone runs to hide

I wish I didn't have to hide
My true self from everyone else
The fake smile gets old
The lies tear me up
But am I fooling anyone?

I wish I didn't have to hide
With no one to talk to
I feel like no one cares
The loneliness preys on my soul
Piece by piece, I disappear

I wish I didn't have to hide
Without an escape
The black sinks down upon my spirit
Can I make another day?
