• I Am Dead

    You say that I am different
    That I am no longer the same as I used to be
    And I just smile as I look at you
    For you have never known the real me

    I have hidden that part of me from the world
    For some time now
    And I have been dying, decaying for the entire time
    But still no one had cared enough to know

    I hid behind a mask
    A smiling, laughing masquerade
    I have held on till now, to pay off my debts
    My dues have been paid

    And I look at you with your watery eyes
    And I know you know the truth
    That I am no longer here
    And now the reality has been let loose

    You cry in your realization and grief
    And try to somehow make it up with words formerly left unsaid
    But still I smile blankly, all I ask is that you
    Do not mourn for me, for I am dead
