"Speak now"

I tried to laugh it out,
Thinking that maybe it can cure me.
I tried to shake it off,
Thinking that it can take it off my system.
I tried to cry all the pain,
Hoping that it will ease all my frustrations.
I tried to fake my smiles,
Hoping that I can make them stop questioning.
I am okay, I keep on saying
But I know that deep inside I am dying.
Then after battling with myself,
A flash of realization hit me.
All this time I've been yearning for a chance to speak.
But now that I have it I feel like I am voiceless.
But no, I said to myself.
I have to speak now,
I'm going to tell them that I am hurting.
