I'm Weak And Cold Inside

When people ask me how I am I simply reply with fine,
But really I'm weak and cold inside.
I pretend that I'm okay,
That nothing's really wrong,
I hide my emotions and pretend to be strong.
You may think I'm confident, calm and collected,
But on the inside I'm screaming for attention.
Life is so hard all of the time and everything seems sour,
Sometimes I wish it all to end but I know that's not the answer,
This would only hurt the ones I love and break their hearts entirely,
It isn't fair for me to leave when I haven't been here very long.
When people ask me how I am I simply reply with fine,
But really I'm weak and cold inside
