Facade

Why can’t you see,
What you’re doing to me?
Your tearing me up inside,
Every day living a lie I hide.
You’ll never see the real me,
The me that just wants to be free.
You’ll never see how I really feel,
For what you see is not real.
My façade will not break,
Stronger it will be when I wake.

You will only hear,
A joyful cheer.
In high spirits may you see,
But falling to bits is how I’ll be.
Never shall you hear,
A saddened tear.
Living a lie,
I shall not cry.
This façade I wear,
You will not tear.

I want to be free
Like the kids we used to be,
But my happiness is lost,
For you there was no cost.
The kid I used to be,
Is no longer me.
With my ever lasting pain,
My silent tears fall with the rain.
My façade will not break,
Stronger it will be when I wake.

Pushing all my feelings aside,
Sometimes forgetting what I hide.
Why won’t you open your eyes and see?
Or are you to afraid of the true me?
Don’t you want to see what’s locked up inside,
The very thing I try so hard to hide?
Are you really so afraid,
Of something you have made?
This façade I wear,
You will not tear.

You will never truly see,
Only when I’m alone am I truly me.
Only behind closed doors,
Do I ever fall to the floor.
Can no one see,
There is nowhere I can truly be me?
Behind this façade I’m lost,
But I’ll never show it no matter the cost.
My façade shall not be broken,
Not until my last words have been spoken.
