You're not alone, quiet now,

You're not alone be quiet.

You're not alone be strong,

You're not alone stop crying.


When you're alone then you can be weak,

But until then be strong.

When you're alone you can cry,

But until then, not one tear. 

When you're alone you can sob loudly, 

But you're not alone so quiet now,


Don't let them see you weak,

Only let them see you strong.

Don't let them see the tears,

Only let them see the smile. 

Don't let them hear you cry,

Only let them hear you laugh.

Don't let them see your saddened eyes,

Only your brightened smile. 

And don't let them see you weak and sobbing there down on the floor,

Only let them see you strong, lift a boulder above your head.


Only when you're strong,

When your smiling,

When your laughing,

Let them see you.


Not when you are weak,

When your crying, 

When your sobbing.


Let them see you happy,

Strong,

Alive...


Don't let them see you saddened,

Weak,

Dying...


Let them see your highs and remember you happy,

Don't let them remember your lows when you were sad.


Let them see the Good they want to see, 

The facade,

Your mask.


Don't let them see the Bad, 

You Broken,

You Shattered.


Let them see an illusion of your happiness,

Rather than the reality of your sadness.


Let them see an illusion of your happy, normal life

Rather than the reality of your sad, miserable, depressed, anxiety-filled, drama-filled and stress topped Life.




Let them see the illusion of your happy life.....,





Rather than the reality of your sad, depressed, pain, torture and bullying endured Death...



You're not alone, quiet now,






You're not alone be strong,






You're not alone stop crying.





You're never alone so stay quiet.



















Shhhhh...










be quiet now...


Authors note

This was a weird one I apologise I just started writing and this is what happened. Sorry about the repetition and the ending I could not figure out how to end it, but I tried. I hope you in some way could manage to read it and I hope you are all staying safe and well.
