He lies to everyone

He smiles when he is sad

Says he is fine when he isn't

They all think he is happy;

They don't know anything

These secrets he tries to hide;

these secrets he is only hiding from hiself

He lies to everyone

The lies pile up and he can't see past them anymore

He doesn't want to see pas them

he wants to hide behind his wall of lies;

it has become his fortress

He puts on a disguise;

He is who everyone wants him to be

Inside he fights with himself

He just wants to be free

He tears down the wall

An attempt to let them see

The wall is gone

He still can't let them see

Why can't he tell the truth

He stares into his mirror

He is ashamed of what he sees;

Ashamed of what he isn't

his reflection is his enemy, "I hate you."
