Silence

Nobody asked me, and I haven't told
The secrets that I keep locked in my soul
The pain, the fear, the hurt, the shame
All hidden behind a mask of fame
I've given up on ever being heard
My thoughts and feelings, like a prison, blurred
I wear this mask of strength and grace
But inside, I'm just a hopeless case
I've tried to reach out, but it's no use
My cries for help are just another excuse
I'm trapped in this cycle, day by day
Nobody cares, so why should I say?
I've lost all hope in myself and in others
I'm just a shell, like a withered flower
Nobody asked me, and I haven't told
But it doesn't matter.
 My story will never be told.
I'll just fade away in silence and despair
Nobody will know, nobody will care
But that's okay because it's just who I am
A lost soul in a world that doesn't give a damn
