Hidden Side Of Me

Fallen tears
A sunken heart
That is all it takes
To tear myself apart

I want to stay still
But I have to get up
I look at myself in the mirror
And new tears erupt

No one has ever seen
This hidden side of me
No one knows of my cries at night
Except for my sleeping family

The puffy eyes
My quivering lip
Chest breathing heavy
Another cry slips

I cannot get up
As I fall to the floor
Just leave me here
And shut my door

I cannot hide this feeling
With my pretending anymore
It has gotten so bad,
I cannot laugh it off anymore

You do not know what to do
You have never seen me cry
Or the words I scream
And how I wish to die

You have never known
How I really feel before
You do not know what to do
So you slowly shut the door
