The sun shines upon me in the day

By night it sets and light fades away

The serpents of night lead me astray

In the day I smile

Let out a rich laugh to make them believe

That the sorrowful one is no longer me

No one knows the true facts

That the one who laughs is only pretending

The tears pressing for release

As it rains, the sky weeps with me

T'is my darkest secret I hide

They miss the tear that slips from mine eye

I am a faceless girl in a large crowd

No one knows my name

I cling to ink and paper to keep me sane

Through day I do not cry

By night, I curl up and wish to die

It sounds insane I know

But t'is the truth I never told

I laughed the loudest, no one new

That I would watch myself bleed through

I fear the grave is my only escape

I weep as I deteriorate and fade

Morbid thoughts of death in my mind's eye

Though I am here, I shall wither away inside

and forever disappear
