Hide

I don't know how to
Explain
How I feel so small

But nothing's in my soul
And though I've fought so hard
To keep it all together

I can't always
Hide
How empty I feel

I try to keep a straight face
No expression
And letting out no feelings

And excuses flow
So easy
I'm tired, sick, or fine

I want someone to ask
If I'm okay
And for once

Persist until I break
Down
And slowly let everything out.
