I represent the few
those like me and you
who can get through each day
only if we fake our way
we push all our feelings aside
even though it kills us inside
we forget about how we feel
though our emotions are valid and real
I will let this day fly by me
with feelings no one else will see
the pain that is in my heart
will hide inside when a new day starts
I'll see how far this day will go
never letting the pain inside show
so many suffer in silence
an actor, at its finest
