Outside me are hidden scars
Inside me are hidden dreams
Outside me are unseen stars
Inside me I’m not what I seem.
Outside me are my replacement tears
Inside me are my lingering fears
Outside me are your hateful eyes
Inside me I let out a cry.
Outside me is a fake smile
Inside me I wither in denial
Outside me you ignore my flame
Inside me I play my game.
Outside me is my silly illusion, shiny and sharp
Inside me is my urge to restart
Outside me I stare at my fear
Inside me I sigh at the fact I am so near.
