Nobody Knows...

I wake up and it's a normal day,
The sun is shining, everything's okay..

Smiles and laughter everywhere I go
Filled with hope, nobody knows...

Deep within it cuts like a knife
The waging wars is crushing my life
Pressure and pain, nobody knows
This emptiness has turned my smile into stone.

A plastic smile glued to my face
A shadow of my laugh echoes this place
The hurt reflects deep in my eyes
I can't take any more of these shallow lies.

No one tries to understand my need for space,
They seem to enjoy my joyful facade
I don't want to entertain a useless crowd
When will you realize I'm not your clown?

I keep holding on, hoping the light is just a blink away
But nothing stops my life from repeating day after day,
Watching the clouds drift slowly in the endless sky
I close my eyes, wishing someone could hear my silent cry...

I push through an ocean of judging eyes
Trying to find myself I hold on to useless lies,
Broken promises and shattered dreams
But I know one day the fog will finally clear.
