Tearstained Lullaby

More and more

I give more than I

receive

I stay when others leave,

I understand everyone,

But no one really understands me..

I forgive quickly,

but I remember silently.

I check on the ones I love,

But no one checks

if I’m there..

I fight my battles quietly,

And smile like nothing hurts.

They ask why I stay happy,

But they don’t see me

when I’m alone. (muffled

sob)

I break then put on the mask,

Just to keep the peace.

Inside is nothing but

shattered glass,

From a heart that once was made.

I continue to smile,

I continue to laugh.

But non of it is real.

The real me is dead.

Replaced by a mask,

That was created from

pain. (ahhhh)
