There’s a storm in me no one can see,
waves crashing quietly beneath my skin.
I smile so they’ll never believe
how heavy the darkness I’m living in.
I talk about dreams I may never chase,
make jokes so they think I’m fine.
But when the night comes to take its place,
I sink in thoughts that are only mine.
It’s not that I want to hide away,
it’s just no one hears the way I ache.
So I carry my pain through every day,
pretending it’s something I didn’t break.
