"Everything will be just fine you just need some sleep"...
I haven't had a dream that wasn't a nightmare for a while....
I see every moment of happiness as a moment perfect for disappointment....
Smiles are only a way to conceal a pain that cannot be faced...
Every laugh is now an interruption long enough to delay my dispair....
The tender embraces and hugs just allow me to get out of view...
Nobody wants to see a strong person break but will always tell them "Be strong"...
Is strength an actual visible trait? or just a polite way to say "Dont cry"...
"Get Over it"... means hiding Under the disguise of a happy person...
No I don't... "Wanna talk about it" because the advice you can give is like a script I've already read...
When i say Im alright..... Its because it may be the only definition i have left...
And when i want to be alone...
Its only because I don't have the ability to fake another smile...
I can finally get over the strength it takes to not talk about it....
And the laughter you hear is the way I disguise my tears....
I hope i wake up from this sleep..
And all this was just a nightmare...
But i guess its another day to be Just fine....
