What they don't want to hear

She had to stop
And take a minute
To take a breath
And put in the mask they wanted to see
Who she wanted to be
But couldn't because it was too hard to change
She counts to three
And pictures the smile that's going to have to be upon her face

They want her to say she's fine
That she's happy and her problems have gone away
They want her to say she has seen the light
And no longer only sees darkness

They don't want her to say she's not alright
And hasn't seen the light
That she puts on a mask and a smile
To please everyone around
They don't want to hear
That she walks about in a mental darkness everyday
That she doesn't know what to do with her life

She walks about lifeless
When there's no one around
She no longer knows what to do
She's going to lose her mind
But would anyone care?

Things have no meaning anymore
People don't mean anything to her anymore
She's all alone, with only the thoughts in her mind
She's ready to give up
So why doesn't she?

A new day begins
And she's back at the start
The mask and fake smile are back
Nobody needs to know about the night she's had
She takes a breath
And out she goes
