Understanding eludes them
As they tried picking me apart
Hoping to label me for their story
Hoping I'd play the part
Sorrow brings discomfort
But they could never bear the shame
"Shed tears behind closed doors."
"Nobody wishes to see your pain."
But what happens when your home is no haven?
When emotions have no escape.
When the world wants you to smile,
Even if it's fake.
