Calm, quiet ever attentive
shy, kind always forgiving
smile, laugh never crying
breathe, talk so very caring

my life seems so perfect, so serene
no bumps in the road, thats what you think
but underneath it all, my life may seem pretty mean
between serenity and madness I stand on the brink

Can't choose, can't decide, can't think
ignore life, ignore thoughts, ignore problems
but when I go to bed at night
all my secrets, all my lies uncovered wake me up

What to do now?
I do not know
so I will do what I have been doing
pretend nothings wrong, pretend everything is perfect and serene
