Truth Behind My Eyes

I hate it that I'm feeling so down
I fake a smile to mask my frown
I slit my wrist without a sound
yet people think I wear a crown.

I lie to people by saying I'm fine
I act so happy time after time
I don't show my feelings, I give no sign
yet people think my life is divine.

I cry in my bed late each night
I can't stand my heart's overwhelming fright
I always hide away staying out of sight
yet people think my world's so bright.

I put on a front each and every day
I hope these feelings won't always stay
I try to take my life, tried every way
yet people think I'm doing OK.

I guess they can't see it
I guess they can't help
I guess I'll just leave now
I'll just kill myself.
