I dim the light
And close my eyes
I think about the time
When I used to believe
That someday I'd be free
Free from hate and anger
Sadness and loneliness
Free from death and pain
And free from the tears that I cry
The thoughts in my head
Are mostly sad
But I put on a smiling face
To hide my face
To hide the tear stains on my cheeks
I don't wish to reveal my face
To put down the smiling mask
I don't want anyone to look upon me
And see my weakness so clearly
I must be strong
I don't have a choice
The smiling mask stays on
To hide my weakness
In the form of tears
Falling from the pains of life
