Sometimes,                                                       I suppose I am happy                       When I am with my friends,      Throwing my head back and covering my mouth                                                             As I shake with laugher                                 At a joke someone just made.                      But then the day turns to night             And my carefree grin turns into an unexplainable sadness.                                 I lay in bed.                                        Thinking about all the things  I wish I could say.                                                       All the things I'm afraid too admit,                                                                 Even with one pen, paper, and one mind.                                                             It's nights like these when I realize             I am many things                                            I am happy and sad,                                        Outgoing and shy,                       Quiet                                                                But mostly, I am empty.

"Sometimes"
Sometimes,                                                       I suppose I am happy                       When I am with my friends,      Throwing my head back and covering my mouth                                                             As I shake with laugher                                 At a joke someone just made.                      But then the day turns to night             And my carefree grin turns into an unexplainable sadness.                                 I lay in bed.                                        Thinking about all the things  I wish I could say.                                                       All the things I'm afraid too admit,                                                                 Even with one pen, paper, and one mind.                                                             It's nights like these when I realize             I am many things                                            I am happy and sad,                                        Outgoing and shy,                       Quiet                                                                But mostly, I am empty.
