Wearing the Face

by Jess   Apr 5, 2011


Trapped in a bubble
Kept inside forever
Never to be let out
For fear of what may happen

Suffering in silence
Won't let anyone in
No one can see how I feel inside
It's not something I can allow someone to know

Put on a happy face
Wear a brave smile
No one knows the difference
No one asks any questions

Assumptions are all the same
No one even thinks
No one even looks in to my eyes
To see the fire that burns and the scars that won't fade

I walk around in a daze
Everything I do is on autopilot
None of my feelings come to the surface
Because I can't let anyone seem them

I can't let anyone know
That inside I'm barely alive
That everything that's happened is slowly killing me
That I don't know how much more I can take

Things from the past, things that are happening now
They are all causing me so much pain
I can't seem to escape from it
I wish I had the courage and motivation to make my life better

The worst thing
Is that one of the things I really want
Is never going to happen when I'm feeling like this
But I can't stop feeling like this

It's such a horrible vicious circle
I need to work out how to step out of it
I need to be able to talk to someone
But I can't stand to rely on anyone

The trust I've had in people has been broken so many times
My heart literally doesn't know how to trust anymore
If anyone else leaves, I don't know what I will do
I cannot take anymore of this
