What they don't know

They think they know me
But they have no clue
Who I really am
Or what I am going through

Yes, I tell my stories
But I always act tough
Like nothing ever bothers me
But right now I’ve had enough

Everybody has someone
Everyone but me
But they are so blinded by their love
That they can’t even see

I hide behind the laughter
And joke about the pain
I act like its all sunshine
When it’s often pouring rain

The bottle is my best friend
When I cannot deal
I’d rather just be wasted
Than to have to feel

I put on my brave face
Every single day
But the racing thoughts inside my head
Just will not go away

Why does no one love me?
Why does no one care?
Will I always be alone?
Is anybody there?
