I show everyone I’m a stone-hearted, cold person,
Unbothered, detached yeah, that’s my version.
But in reality, I’m a sensitive, sweet guy,
Full of mischief, pretending to be shy.
But why?
Why am I faking?
The real question should be ,
why am I shaking?
Is it the weight of expectations crushing me down?
Or the fear of my feeling to much making me drown
Maybe it’s ADHD messing with my mind,
Scattered thoughts, emotions undefined.
Or maybe I’m just scared to let them see,
That the strongest version of me , isn’t really me.
I laugh the loudest but silence cuts deep,
I push them away but secretly weep.
I joke, I tease, I play my part,
But no one sees the toxic shame in my heart.
Is it safer to hide, to keep up the show ?
To bury emotions and just let them go ?
Or should I embrace what I’ve kept inside,
The boy who feels too much but still runs to hide?
Maybe one day, I’ll drop the disguise,
Let them see the truth in my eyes.
Until then, I play my role just right,
A stone hearted guy with a heart locked tight.
