Tears running down my cheek
pain that can not be seen
hiding
hiding the truth
hiding my fears
hiding everything that you can not see

you never play over the good memories
your mind tells you none exist
just the bad, the ones that make you sad.
Tears running down my cheek
as I hide the truth
and hide my fears

You see the time, but no motivation
nothing pushing to get you up
nothing pushing you to do anything
it's comfortable, it's warm, it's the last remaining place where good things happen
we see the time and decide to hide
hide away in our beds
hide away in our dreams

Nothings wrong becomes your default response
but deep down you know you need help
but at the surface you convince yourself you are strong
strong enough to win a battle that you are in fact losing
so you hide
you hide the truth
your fears
all while tears run down your cheek

I've cut up my knees

The tears always seem

Thinner when I bleed

I wonder what its like
to live without regret
to pretend your fine
until the day it you die

I wonder what its like
to pretend your okay
the pain you must feel
when you run out of lies to say

I wonder what its like
to smile through your tears

I wonder how
you survived all these years

Even if the world tried to force me to use only black and grey crayons
I would still manage to create a colorful picture
For I am a poet and my imagination cannot be tamed
and my vision is never bleak
my letters may be black but the color in my words
will never be weak
