What Lies Inside
I have often felt my words
Suppressed by the silence.
Of a thousand voices in a room
None of which are mine.
They say it isn’t healthy
To keep it all inside.
But what would they say
If I really spoke my mind?
They aren’t all kind
Nor are they always smart
But the thoughts are my own
I can’t help that part.
Would my friends frown
Or look at me with disdain?
If I told them I wasn’t always happy
Like my face always says.
But what other choice do I have
They want this charade.
Of laughter, of a carefree life
Even when it's a fraud.
I can feel the encompassing force
Pressing into my mind
Like the inevitable end of day
And dawning of the night.
