In the dark of night, the demons in my mind
Are wailing and screaming, so cruel and unkind
But I've constructed walls, towering so high
To muffle their cries, so the world won't pry
Behind a facade, a web of deceit
I dwell in this lie, my only retreat
For showing my true self has caused such despair
Leaving me isolated, drowning in solitaire
I'm not alright, can't you perceive?
So much to express, but no one to receive
I stay silent, though the stakes are high
Feeling burdensome, I let my voice die
I long for a scar, a visible sign
To prove that my agony is more than a line
My suffering's unseen, I'm judged or concealed
The only hint of my torment is the life I don't wield
I cannot articulate, can't express this hell
What if my silence brings me to farewell
Locked in my sorrow, a prisoner I'll be
To my own anguish, I'll never to be free
