• The taste of bitter tears
    Softly roll off my lip
    They cascade down my cheeks
    And moisten up my neck

    I lay in my bed
    Soaking in my own tears
    I try to muffle the escaping cries
    I can’t let anyone hear

    I mask these tears during the day
    With a plastered on smile
    And a happy little wave
    I pretend to laugh at your stupid jokes
    I fake my attitude
    It’s all just a hoax

    This all changes when I lie down to bed
    I lay on my mattress and nustle my head
    I bury my face in my tear stained pillow
    Letting out the cries, billow by billow

    I must wear a convincing mask
    ‘Cause you don’t seem to care
    You don’t see the real me
    A passing glance you don’t even spare

    I wish that someone would notice
    And break down my guarded piers
    Please hear what I’m not saying
    Unspoken hidden tears
