Inside my heart is breaking

Although you can't see it

Because I mask the pain

Hiing behind my laughter

Pretending not to care

I hold the tears inside

Causing them to build

Creating a torrent of sorrow

That surrounds my heart

The more I hold in the tears

The deeper my despair

Flooding my heart

With immense pain

Filling me with darkness

And complete misery

As I silently drown

Drowning silently in my own tears
