Another day, another struggle
Trying to appear happy
I put on my mask
So that it may help me brave the day

I know there's many who have had it worse than I
But that doesn't mean I can easily say goodbye
To the pain inside that wont go away
Behind my eyes it is here to stay

Trapped within my mind
I need to escape
From the voice within
That wont go away

I feel so alone
Disconnected, cut off

A silent cry for help that nobody hears
Alone with my thoughts no one else cares

I haven't a reason to be feeling this way
Others tell me not to worry
That I should smile more, it will be ok
But snapping out of this state that I'm in
Will take more than just a grin

For the problems that are in my life
Are not physical things you can find
They do not exist as entities
Instead my worst enemy is me.
