Surrender to the truth I wanted to ignore
I saw it as growth
I was proud if my progress
...to be able to speak of my struggle
...to be able to be openabout something I always kept inside
Always the one to suffer in silence
Always telling people I was "fine" when I was falling apart
I was proud
But it would seem I was wrong
No one wants to hear it
No one wants to see it
No one wants to know it
So be quiet...
Put back your mask...
Keep wearing that smile that doesn't match the eyes on the verge of tears
No one actually cares
No one actually wants to be there
They have their own lives
They do not have the time or desire to pay you any mind
Do they truly care if your heart beats while the soul dies?
I thought they did.
But I was wrong again...
So I shall once again sufer in silence until the dead heart in my chest finally gives up

I see your pain coming out on my screen. It takes a lot of courage to do this.
No one wants to hear it
No one wants to see it
No one wants to know it
So be quiet...
Put back your mask...
Keep wearing that smile that doesn't match the eyes on the verge of tears
So true of many of us - don't want to know, don't want to talk about it, don't bother us. Go away. Makes me angry.
