No one

Why is it getting harder?
Why is everyone screwed up?
Why am I changing?

I am different
The façade is being built up to phenomenal heights

Outside, I am quiet
I am strong, a soft shoulder
Sometimes I seem happy
Overly so
Sometimes a pessimist
Passing snide comments in the hall

Inside, I cower
Raucous noise follows me wherever I go
It hurts constantly
A tormenting storm behind a solid façade

Oh why won’t anyone tear it down?
Come in to see the truth?
No one ever will
