On the Inside

Everything feels so empty now
I barely get to sleep
and yet I know my eyes are closed
I slowly softy weep.
On the outside I smile to show that I'm alive
and yet within I struggle
simply to survive.
On the outside I seem brave
and tougher than you think.
But within I tremble I'm meager and I'm weak.
On the outside I'm bold and loud spoken
on the inside I'm frozen and for no reason
heartbroken.
Fear has over taken me the inside will emerge
to the outside freely showing a constant urge
to live to die for truth and to lie.
On the outside isn't who I am.
The inside is my true self.
Through my future achievements and wealth.
The inside will always be who I am.
