Why do these tears fall

Why do these tears fall?

Why don't they stay hidden

Like all my feelings

Days, Months, Years, they all pass

So why do I feel the same?

Empty, broken

I've changed, on the outside, on the inside

Done all I could

Why am I still lost?

What's missing?

Aren't I trying hard enough?

I am, I am, I'm sure I am.

Then why? Why?

Am I alone?

Surely, I'm not the only one to feel this

Doesn't anyone else wear a mask?

Do they wait for darkness to hide their pain?

Is it me?

What I am?

What am I doing wrong?

I'm not perfect.

No one is.

It's hard but I'm trying.

Do they know?

Is my mask really secure?

Or can they see through it easily?

Can they see me?

The real me?

Beauty surrounds me.

So why can't I see it in me?

Music makes you feel certain emotions

Why are those created emotions

Stronger than my own?

My own. Muted.

So weak I can't be sure they're real

They seem real but afterwards

After, they're so weak I begin to doubt

Dreams, memories they blur and become the same

Which is more real?

A memory of a dream?

Or a dream of a memory?

Isolation seems to be a solution

But how can it be?

When it becomes a problem itself?
