Hidden Pain

"On the outside
I may be laughing
But have you ever wondered
What really runs through my head?
Could I be screaming out in pain?
Could I be yelling out in fear?
Could I just be wishing that I were no longer here?
Have you ever thought it through?
What others feel
Think
Love
And hate
Have you ever wondered
If you're really liked for who you are?
Or if you're someone's plaything
That they can manipulate
And then throw away?
Have you ever thought that those who claim
That they are your friends
Turn out to be your enemies?
And that they deceived you
And called you names behind your back
Only to look at you with a smile
That only seems friendly"
