It's cold inside. Shifting my gaze and again the question-- "How are you?" Smile-- A lie-- Though I've never felt so empty. You didn't bother to stop and hear. Tired. Retorting, you say to sleep. Truth: insomnia, stress, anxiety. It's all the same. What was I ever to start out as? Now a forgotten tear in a notebook. All I wanted was to have a friend-- You? Ignored in passing conversation, Unheard, Unseen, Struggling under a load twice my weight... Yet I smile. You thought me as the happiest person-- I was never happy-go-lucky. I was just a girl In a struggle, With too much pride and many lies To feed the rest of humanity. How am I? It's cold inside.

But long ago you compared me to Venus... Cytherean: Pertaining to Venus.
