in public

I hide in public

And cry in private

I show the world I’m happy

When really I’m bleeding

Don’t ask me how I am

Unless you want me to lie

Very few know my true feelings

And sometimes the causes and why

In public I’m what you want to see

In private I can only be me

Even as I sit here outside

I’m only showing you what you want

If you want to know how I feel

You better be someone that can deal

Cus I can lie to you of how I feel

Instead of telling the part of me that’s real

Amazing!! You have said what most people are afraid to say. The sadness just comes at a person like a tidal wave.
