Deep
It's embedded, I can't get it out
it hurts but I move
even though I am bleeding
I cry on the inside
that way no one can see my tears
I smile on the outside
because no one ever bothers to ask me anything different
I am silent because I am a deep thinker
I can hear, never mistake
I know when I am being talked about...
I cry when I am isolated
that way there are no interruptions
I can let loose with all my insecurities
it's okay when I am on my island
every once in a while I get a visitor
but I have noticed it's about them
they never stop to listen
so I just gave up a long time ago
but if you think there is nothing in this head
you are wrong, it's just I think deep
and I carefully edit anything I release
I think it is for the best
when someone walks by and ask "How are you doing?"
they expect "fine, thank you"
simplicity at it's best
the world runs smoother when people talk less
it's our way of feeling good about ourselves
but maybe we have learned to just suppress
now how is that healthy?
