I'm hiding behind a lie,

Like a ninja spy.

Every word I speak,

Comes out so meek.

On my face I paint a smile,

That sadly will only last a while.

With my friends,

Acting to no end.

And sadly they can't see,

All the pain inside me:

Welling up from my soul,

Like an overflowing bowl.

But this I will never let people see,

For what they might do to me.

Many scars buried deep,

Growing into a large heap,

Of friendships gone wrong,

Of broken promises not mended by song,

And even though you cannot see,

All of the hurt you caused me,

But even through the rain,

And all of this endless pain,

I hold on to the hope,

And try so hard not to mope;

That I might find a friend,

One who does not bend,

Who won't abandon me,

Right at my time of need.

But this is a false hope,

As I try to cope,

So I become an actor,

And join in the laughter,

Because I am a ninja spy,

Hiding behind a lie.
