Though I'm smiling
I'm silently crying
Always hiding
Slowly dying
I'll attempt to hide
Can't show what's inside
Masks are worn for pride
While wounds are open wide
Your words cut into my skin
Pain seeping in
Enjoying this sweet sin
You just can't win
Because even if I die
Days will go by
And you'll ask yourself why
You never even saw me cry.
I'm silently crying
Always hiding
Slowly dying
I'll attempt to hide
Can't show what's inside
Masks are worn for pride
While wounds are open wide
Your words cut into my skin
Pain seeping in
Enjoying this sweet sin
You just can't win
Because even if I die
Days will go by
And you'll ask yourself why
You never even saw me cry.

Welcome to DU! This great, I know the feeling of smiling but not what is true in side. You have expressed it well. :)

"Though I'm smiling
I'm silently crying
Always hiding
Slowly dying "
really enjoyed the way the intro flowed... a smile is a mask in itself for sure, props!

Holding it all inside is akin to a volcano
brimming, getting ready to erupt, never quite sure
when but when it does... There will be an incredible, powerful explosion... A sad n moving ink

Hello sweetdevil. Decided to go back to your 1st post, since you've been a part of DUP for quite sometime. This is a great piece of writing. Beautifully written, with emotion pouring out through the seams. Awesome!
