Outside . . .          the appearance,
                       similar to that of everyone;

Inside . . .           the soul and spirit,
                       darkened by a certain empty sadness;

Outside . . .          the fake side,
                       how often you hide your true feelings;

Inside . . .           the reality,
                       slowly dying;

Outside . . .          lies the lifeless body,
                       no one expected to see;

Inside . . .           there is nothing now,
                       all the pain has gone away;

Outside . . .          friends and family crying now,
                       wondering why they didn't foretell all of this;

Inside . . .           all the hopes and dreams,
                       of that can never be.
