My Private Pain

It's easy for me to lie and hide;
these pain behind my smile instead of crying.
It's easy for me to lie and hide;
pretending everything is alright.
It's easy for me to lie and hide;
the hurt and emptiness inside.
It's easy for me to lie and hide;
saying I have a future that is bright.
I'm at my breaking point;
Where no one else knows.
I long to stop my bleeding heart;
and smile again.
