Can You Hear Me?
Location
Smiling, laughing, eternally cheery
Why can't anyone hear my screaming?
Showing the world my best face
Make sure that the mask stays
So happy with my life
I'm conflicted by strife
Confident, fearless, outright bold,
Scared I'll never live to be old
Smile like I believe everything will be okay
Just a lie cause I don't plan on living another day

I have to say that I do hear you. I hear all of it as clear as day. I feel like a lot of people don't hear that and, in that, don't worry about suicide, at least not like I do. I really like the structure as it provides more evidently that divide between what they see and what we see as those feeling such. Very true, very real, and very well-written.
