It's hard, isn't it?

To go day to day knowing,

The worst thing ever may never end.

To know the ways of the world may bend.

To look at life and say

"Why can't I be me?"

It's not your fault,

It never really will be.

You try to live your life,

The very best you can.

It's a difficult task,

to wear this deceiving mask.

I cannot keep this in for long,

I wish it all could end.

The new trials we face,

Get harder…how I wish I were wrong

I realize that I can't hold it in,

The truth will be reveled.

From day to day I watch the moon

Thinking, "It must be over soon."

My true inner self,

Has finally been released.

I must stop now or

You may question me more.

Speak of this to no one

Try not to give in.

Remember that here

I have never been.
