Putting on a show Faking a smile Looking happy The kindest and happiness of people are the ones with the most hurt inside Feeling dead Not trusting anyone Letting no one in to know the true you Hidden from the world Locking everyone out Helping others when they are down and sad Wanting them to be ok Making them tell you the truth and their feelings But not telling them yours when they ask Telling them what they need but when that advice is giving to you you reject it Not letting someone get close But failing One had broken though Gotten close to you Wanting to tell them the truth Wanting to finally tell someone the truth Not having to bottle everything inside Letting it all out Bubbling over you give them a hint of the truth They catch the scent and want to know it all Not caring the pain inside Wanting to be there for you Wanting to help you like you’ve helped them Revealing the emotions Exposing yourself Feeling naked when the words leave your mouth Like your telling a secret never to be told Tears falling to the floor Evaporating as soon as it hits Feeling the tension inside Releasing everything bottled Removing the mask No more smile Just pain and sadness Letting it all out for the first time To the one special person Not wanting to loose them after spilling your guts Hoping you have not scared them away Needing them as a lifeline
