Lying To Yourself

Made for a friend again, she just broke up with a butthole of a boyfriend and was trying to "force" happy.

 

Are you happy?
Are you really truly happy?
Or is your mask rising,
Inch by inch?
Is it slowly creeping up,
To smother you?
Hide you?
Is that a real smile?
Or a showing of teeth?
Is that a real laugh?
Or a hollow sound?
Are your eyes wide open?
Or are they clouded with tears?
Are your ears filled with song?
Or the rapid beat of your own heart?
Is your heart fulled with joy?
Or the pang of true sadness?
Are you as happy as you say?
Or lying to yourself?

Love it! Spectacular words and flow, friend! I love any story or rhyme that asks questions that we all want to be answered...sometimes all we can do is pour out our hearts and run into the storm. Flawless write!
