Barricade

Everyone puts up a lasting facade 

They can conceal 

How they truly feel

They laugh and smile 

Like they haven't even walked a mile 

I too have a strong wall

No one will ever truly know how tall

It's a barricade for my heart

How easily I seem to still fall apart

These chains I can never break

screaming to an invisible audience

I don't know how much more of this I can take
Wishing I could show them I'm just a fake

While everyone else can unlock the door

I am stuck inside holding back even more
crying out for a single soul to hear
many would say I'm silent

If you truly knew you too would be in fear

Know me

You think you know who I am

Some say it be

But are you sure you've truly studied me

The ways I get so upset

 I remember how we all met

The pain I experience all locked away

How I never thought anyone would actually stay

The times I wished I could just take it all 

I'm quite clumsy as everyone knows 

But I've never left anyone see me fall

Broken words

My tongue continues to lock

My mind just seems to mock

My sanity leaves

My heart greaves 

Over these words not spoken

Are we just that broken

It's never seemed like too much to bear

But now my heart repetitively tear

My life is spinning faster 

I can't seem to master

Moving forward

Maybe I can't
