should our outside reflect our inside?
should our heart hide the emotion?
should our smile hide our pain?

should anyone see the battles we fight?
should anyone see the our tears that already formed an ocean?
or should we protect them again?

does anyone need to know?
does anyone care to know?

I won't tell
I just don't let them even notice i'm in pain
I'll just cry like the rain
be a shadow
feeling hollow, but still so full
