Inside Out

Outside.

I'm smiling.

Living like it's totally fine.

Getting things done correctly;

Letting people see the smirk on my lips,

Just to let them think I'm happy.

Inside.

I'm bleeding,

Suffocated by distress;

Sick and tired of the world.

Exhausted at work, no time for relaxation.

Battling inside in a morbid realm.

Inside out.

Soul and body are at war;

Tryin' to set equilibrium.

The mind is a battleground.

Confused, tormented and broken.

Swallowed by my own morbidity.
