ECHOES OF SILENCE
i'm a great pretender
since i was forced to
touch the toxins of reality.

don't trust my smile
like everything is fine.

don't trust my cheerful
act like i'm doing enough.

sidedon't trust my tough
like i'm not softhearted.

because if you can visit
me in my cellar inside my
mind you'll see that the real
me is too far from what i
always roleplay in this world.

i'm too deep for you to see,
i'm too scarred from what you've seen.
