All the laughs
And the jokes
And the smiles
Are all a blanket
Hiding my hurting
And my feelings
And my tears
Easily covered up
Not letting anyone see
That they really don’t know
The real me
Because I hide
And I cry
And I let no one see
All the hurt in my head
And the heaviness in my heart
And the sinking feeling I get
When I realize
No one needs me
