My Pain

I talk to myself in my room
The walls know more than you do
I smile just to fit in
But inside, everything is noise

You say everything is going to be alright
But you don't know how it burns
When silence speaks loudest
That you never told me

This is my pain
Don't touch it, leave it be
I learned to breathe
With the burden of silence
This is my pain
He won't leave, he doesn't want to talk
Live with me in my skin
Like an echo upon waking

I walk slowly, looking at the ground
Avoiding any signal
I'm not weak, just tired
Of pretending that everything is normal

This is my pain
It doesn't break me, it taught me
To keep standing through the night
When nobody looked at me

My pain
I'm still here
