Cheerfulness is a mask. A mask to hide the sorrows.
Friendliness is a warning. To tell you to leave me alone.
Cracking jokes is just a decoy. To make you forget the question you’ve asked.
Silence is a reply. To answer your oh-so-personal inquisition.

Leave me alone. Just leave me alone. How do I say it without hurting your feelings?

I want nothing from no one. Just leave me alone with my thoughts. I want to have a word with me.
