I don't know if I can take this tear
make it my own, unraveling this fear
but instead, I just try to pretend I'm fine
as I just take another step on death's line
holding with me a hidden sorrow
like a relentless covering shadow
and I wish it would just fade away
along with this dismal day
while I try to hide the pain on my rigid face
and try to win this Queen of Charades race
still making believe without any end in sight
hoping that darkness meets this empty, sad light
but it is the same thing everyday
and, sometimes, I cannot put the pain at bay
as I become an attempted smile failed
but, still all awhile, refusing to be unveiled
*feel free to comment/vote. It would mean a lot to me! Thank you*
