Unhappy thoughts Replace my good mood Sending my heart fluttering Angrily against my chest Demanding to prove their worth

The world is an ugly place Filled with disease Secrets buried deep within Betraying the lies we hide behind Spewing all our sordid crimes

We wrap ourselves in bubbles The numbness keeping us safe From the pain we hide from Silence filling gaping holes In our hearts as we try to forget
