Look Away

Don't look to deeply into my eyes
you might just see into my soul
on the outside is all you want or need
what you see now is a facade
because what is real, is in ruins

floods of tears had came
and rushed away all my pride
then the drought of sorrow arrived
it left my soul barren, thickened with shame
because, I'm truly not strong as I seem

I hope you've never noticed how I smile
it never reaches my eyes,
coded with cold thoughts my subconscious whispers
such strong cowardice is behind my placid actions
I know it might be hard, but pretend I'm perfect as I seem
