Silence

Laying there in my bed
Just waiting for night to end

Wondering if I matter
If anyone even cares

Whether I live or whether I die
Does anyone see the tears that fall from my eyes

I walk alone in silence
I sleep wrapped in fear

Trapped with a secret one so big
It swollows you whole

Wishing someone could know
Only now I can see that I never mattered

No one cared to see
The real me behind that smile

To them I was fine
Underneath I was not

A pain so great hidden there
A pain so heavy I became scared

Afried of all things trusting nothing
Not even myself

Holding on to my secret
Waiting to be free

Someone please see...
