Is it you within that smile
That shows so very fake?
Is it you behind the pages of that book
And no one sees your face?
Is it you behind the crinkle of your eyes
Are the lines from laughter or tears?
Is it you behind these expectations
Your voice that no one hears?
The world isn't waiting
The world cares not at all.
The world isn't waiting.
You choose to rise or fall.
