You will never know
The energy it takes to wake up when stress, depress and living feels like you are suffocating
But you dont really see me do you? You see a smile, you see me laugh
But the tears?
Oh no, you wont see them because i wont let you.

I bury them, but if you look closely that glisten in my eye isn't the light.
If you catch me off guard you may hear a silent scream. Deafening

Powerless. Governed by emotion no hashtags no followers. Just me

They think I am strong, I play the role but I am not. Deep down i just want to keep walking. Shed layers, be free

But I will always be your prisoner. You inside me

— The End —
