Life's anthem

I've been lonely for a while.
Yet all people see is a smile.
I had to learn to hide it well.
When the tears in my eyes would start to swell.

The hard faced king of misadventure,
turned king of loneliness.
I told myself I had to have her,
I told myself she was the best.

As weeks went by my feeling went away.
I learned to the hide this person away.
I didn't want to be this way.
I didn't want to be hated for being gay.
