My Real Face

This is my face; it’s what you all see
But what you see is not the real me
But that suits me; I don’t want you to see
The raging turmoil the swirls inside of me

You see me smile but it is just all-fake
You see me laugh, but its just a take
I soldier on day by day
But my strength is draining away

I am hiding under this façade
The real me cries out against the dark
You will never meet me cause you cant know
Where I am hiding, I am a no show

I see a danger that surrounds all of me
I will trap you if you get to close to me
You don’t want to see the ugly side of me
There is a down side to knowing me

I don’t want to trouble you unnecessary
My problems they are the undoing of me
I am too much trouble and you will hate me
I don’t want that and that’s why I hide you see

This is my face but you must not see
My real face is hiding under me
I don’t let you close cause you bound to see
The raging turmoil the swirls inside of me
