On the outside is a smile
But on the inside, a frown
You do not know the real me
Choose only to see the clown
Does the darker side of me
Make you uncomfortable?
Do you squirm? Do you twitch?
Am I that insufferable?
Beauty is only skin deep
Yet all you see is the shell
Would it make any difference
To know my mind lives in hell?
Do I sometimes cross your thoughts
When you go about your day?
Do you ever think of me?
Do you know the price I pay?
Torment scratches at my door
But with a smile, I still feign
Pick myself up, brush it off
Though still live and breathe the pain
It’s corroded my frail heart
Made me who I am today
Broken rose-coloured glasses
The world has left me this way
You can take everything I have
I don’t need it anymore
Am due to meet the devil
Then I will settle the score
