Should I Cover Up My Sadness
Should I cover up my sadness
With a cherry facsimile smile
Should I hide my tears
Caused by my wearily travelled miles
Should I put aside
This feeling of hurt and pain
Let you think all is well
As inside I go insane
Should I talk to you
And say to you all is fine
While within my heart I ache
And anger floods my mind
Should I just be quiet
Endure the pain and slowly die
Or should I become exposed
And let you see me cry
I do not know exactly
What to do or say
I just wish these troubles
I have would go away
I do not like being this way
It's such a burdensome task
To hurt so bad inside
And be expected to wear a happy mask
