laugh it out
some people just do not get it
do they?
they think they can see you clearly
when in reality, you are not a window
you're more of a piece of one-way glass
people think they can see through you
but from the other side
its completely opaque
they say
"Your smile makes others smile!"
when really you're thinking
"My smile is so forced."
its hard
seeing everyone all happy
when you're all sad
they just dont get it
so you laugh it out
you laugh when they do
you smile with them
you put on the best **** act you can
they dont know that youre breaking
they cant see it
its the one-way glass
they dont understand
you might open up to people
but they mainly just leave
some will stay
but its likely theyll leave
so you go to school
or work
or out in public
and you force it
you force your happiness
and your smiles
and everything
and you just laugh it out
laughing makes it seem like
youre perfectly fine
youre okay
but you arent
they just cant see through
the piece of one-way glass
they dont know
they wont know
as long as you laugh it out
