I have a lot of self hatred
I'm not very confident
I smile to make others happy
Because this I know I can
I am a pleaser
Always have been
I always cry in silence
So no one can hear me plea
Stop it's killing me
I am being haunted
By my past suffering
Don't tell me to smile
For isn't that the problem
I'm always hiding my pain
So I cut off my heart
From everyone else
I put on a mask
And suffer in silence
So I wouldn't be a burden
I'm trapped in this darkness
A cage for all eternity
But somehow there's a light
It's so far away and yet it's in sight
Now the cage is fading
As the darkness is dissipating
My heart is melting
As my mask slowly breaks
I can see that I can finally be free
But i'm too afraid to take the leap
There's a guiding hand
That I do not take
Because how do I know it's not fake
I can't help but to be weary
Compliments I do not handle well
But i'll never tell
