A Simple Smile, A Scream Inside

There's so much no one knows, So much that no one sees, About the way I feel inside, my thoughts and all my needs.

Maybe it's that they don't look, Or the fact that I don't show, Either way, there are things inside that no one seems to know.

I want to show the world. I want everyone to see. All the thoughts and the ideas that flow inside of me.

Maybe you haven't noticed, Or maybe you don't dare, To find out who I am, to show me that you care.

I'm screaming on the inside, A smile is what you see, But I am not content with the person I seem to be.

There's a different person on the inside, That I can't seem to show, But maybe if you took the time, that person you could know.
