The Real Me

Nobody knows the real me,
Knows my true feelings.
Some would think they do,
Only a few come close.

I hide behind a smile,
Hide behind a laugh.
No one sees the tears or pain,
No one will ever see the scars.

I never show my true feelings,
The depression hiding inside.
I always try to appear happy,
Even when all I want to do is cry.

If a tear snaked down my cheek,
I would quickly wipe it away.
For I choose to hide the pain inside,
And never let anyone know.

Nobody knows the real me,
Knows my true feelings.
Some would think they do,
Only a few come close.
