tears never were enough for me
crying never helped
it was either too honest
or too weak
i always did prefer
to let my sadness grow
build a fortress of steely walls in side my chest
churning like an ocean in my mind
pushing me to the edge of my stage
all eyes focused on me
flawless preformance
costumed beautifully as the happiest girl in the world
oh but you saw through me
didn't believe me for a second
took me backstage and unclothed me
broke down my sorrow into bite sized pieces
taught me how to be really happy
forced me to let go of the act
and learn how to love
