To the rest of the world, my world is a bubbly nest. It’s hard to admit when you’re broken.

I’m feeling fine,
I feel alright.
I need to hide
My inner fight.
The walls expand,
The walls condense.
The people shout,
And my expense
Is hard to deal,
I can’t deny.
But only to myself I try.
I’m feeling good,
I’m feeling fine.
To all the world,
I feel alright.
They’ll never even try to know
What’s beneath the mask I show.
I’m never weak,
I’m feeling good.
Just the way they
Think I should.

    i like that. so true we do hide our true feelings to the world. sometimes that’s the best way to be
