Fake Smile

This fake smile

is slowly fading

after this long while

 

I no longer want to hide my pain

control

is the only thing keeping me sane

 

I want them to know,

to see,

but I don't want to show.

 

If I told what's inside,

so different than what I pretend,

they'll know I've lied.

 

I'm so sick of acting,

like everything's okay,

but I don't want to see them reacting.

 

I've been hiding every feeling,

they think I'm fine,

my mind is reeling.

 

I put on this cheery show,

so different from the real thing.

No one would know I've been so low.

Very nice. I know this feeling also. Its a very lonely feeling. So lonely that you dont even notice that youre not really alone.
