My true self is hidden from the world
My true feelings are a secret of this life
My existence lingers on lies
Held together by faith
Constantly destroying me
Ripping me to shreds
Shattering all my dreams
Visions of a better life seize me
The only hope I have in this hopeless life
Are mere illusions of my mind
Taking me from helpless to slightly insane
I’m far to broken to ever be whole
But all of this is hidden behind my smile
The smile of someone whole
