Silent Screams

I smile and I laugh as I go through the day
Not one of my friends have a clue
That I'm crying inside of this heart of mine
And I don't know what I should do.

People may wonder if I ever felt pain
Since I seem I haven't a care
But they never look deeper inside of me
Or see past the smile that I wear.

I'm the one that they all come to see
When their lives are broken inside
When it is a shoulder they need to lean on
Or a place for them to just cry.

They think that I haven't felt any pain
Of having my heart ripped in two
Of having my soul so shattered at times
That I didn't think I'd make it through.

They just see the humor that I project
But if they'd look deep in my eyes
They'd see past the fun and notice my soul
That's hurting and screaming inside.
