masked

I see these people all around me,
smiling, waving, laughing loudly.
I stand around and watch them all,
my knees are shaking, I'm about to fall.
Nobody sees, and nobody knows,
I'm standing in a crowd, feeling all alone.
How many times shall I scream?
before somebody finally hears me.
Empty, broken, cold inside.
All I want is to run and hide.
This mask I wear, is just for show.
Everybody's looking, but nobody knows.
The girl they know, is breaking down.
Screaming loudly, yet there is no sound.
"I'm okay." Or "I'll be fine."
Is what she says to make it by.
