Analysis of Invisible Tears
Moods on each sleeve like when I grieve;
Some things I cannot hide
Like when I'm lonely and I'm only
Starting to backslide.
Sometimes I'll say it is that way
Because that's how I feel
And yet I've found that those around
Wish I did not reveal
The inner struggle though I juggle
Both of the warring sides.
The battle rages in small stages
With no good place to hide.
