Scream

I smile on the outside
but there's a scream within.

You can't see or hear it
but I know its there.

It’s not my friend
I know I don’t show it
but then again you don’t look.

I know you all "know me"
But you just wait and see
when that scream comes out
I wonder how many will love me.

I don’t want you to see it.
I don’t want you to know.
I’ll only let you get so close,
but then I’ll have to go.

I know you haven’t noticed
and I’m happy you don’t care.
You love me for who I am right now
so I won’t scream about my pain.

I am a different person,
but I choose not to show.

I’m to scared of what you’ll think
so as I smile my body screams
somebody please help me.
