You see me smile
But you don’t know what lies behind this mask that I wear
You can’t see the scars that are hidden with my fancy worn clothes
You can’t understand how many times I have cried under my pillow
So that I may fake a smile in the morning

You waked into my life
Just as everyone else does
You made me feel at home
And together we were a family
I thought that it would last forever
But I came to know that forever is a term that only exist in my mind
You later walked out of my life
And just like everyone else
You left without a goodbye

I am broke inside
Even though you guys think am strong
Behind this mask
Is a desperate, torn person
Who has cried a million tears
All through this years
Trying to find a better version of myself
Am on a quest to know who I am but I can't get the answers
