I’m fine I say, 
Begging myself to make it true every day.
No one wants to hear my pain,
So I just pretend it went away.

I smile to others,
Not letting them see,
How I want to let go,
Let this burden be lifted from me.

I could never do that,
Let others take my pain,
For if they were to take it,
Would I ever be the same?

I can’t let them see,
That I am slowly drowning.
I don’t want to drag them under,
For the weight is too much for any human to lift.

If they try they could fail,
And then they’d be broken too,
And I would never be able to forgive myself,
For giving this burden to you.

I try to hide it away, 
But it shows in my eyes,
I can never truly hide,
The darkness that rests inside.

I’m fine I say, 
Begging myself to make it true every day.
No one wants to hear my pain,
So I just pretend it went away.
