I don't know if people see the real me
I wonder if they notice the wall I've placed before me
It takes a lot of effort to break the mask
Much more than an "Are you okay?" that you ask
I figured that I've set my face as cheerful every morning
But in my journal, I see a frown every evening
Outside all you see is the carefree version of me
But deep inside I don't know who I really ought to be
"Yes, I am fine" is my lie
Even I get fooled by it at times
After believing everything's okay
I never really took the time to pray
My eyes are full of tears, my mind is full of fears
But I am still waiting for something...
Something or someone? I, myself, am not quite sure
But my heart is heavy, still all you can see is a carefree version of me
So to whom it may concern,
please don't easily give up when the bridge you and I built get burned
If you really want to know me, there's one thing you've got to learn
It will take a reasonable amount of your time till my thoughts you can discern
