Can you see beneath this smile i wear?
Look past these cheerful eyes.
Do you recognize the sadness there,
Concealed by this disguise?

I'm drowning in a flood of tears,
That no one seems to see,
Troubled by my silent fears,
That withhold sleep from me.

Can you hear the waver in my tone,
When i say "I'm doing fine" ?
Truth is I'm scared to be alone,
In this secret world of mine.
Tell me what you think! :]
