People see
what they want to see;
But don't see
what I want them to see.
I tried being true,
but they thought it was a joke.
They thought I was saying the truth,
but I was telling a lie.
A lie that would make them all happy.
A lie that would look like I'm happy.
A lie that I want them to see,
to let them know I'm okay.
A lie that would mask all my achings away.
I lie to keep my burdens unknown.
