Crying Silent Tears

Sometimes I feel
That I'm all alone inside
Crying silent tears
Washing away my life
No one really knows
Why I feel this way
I keep my feelings hidden
Locked up far away
In my daily life
I put on a happy face
Everybody around me
Knows now of my dark place
I wish someone somewhere
Would somehow understand
That sometimes even I
May need a helping hand
I show my independence
I can do it by myself
I have too much pride inside
To take the feelings off the shelf
The pain my life has given me
May someday make me see
That someone out there somewhere
Thinks something special of me
