My world is crumbling Everything turned inside out tumbling All I want to do is cry But I can't cuz I have to much pride I read many stories that relate to me in one way or another But sometimes I wonder if I told my whole story would it be any different from any of the others I sit around looking puzzled for days I wish things wasn't like this my life feels like a maze Can't control my emotions One moment I'm happy and in a split second I'm sad Tired of going through the motions Up for another change now I'm mad People don't know how I really feel cuz when they see me all they see is a smile Tired of masking whats inside of me Sometimes I just wish it would all end In my perfect world I will have no gloomy days but everything is blank for me I just wanna be free
