I'm okay, I'm alright
I'm fine, I'm great
no, please no lies anymore.

I'm hurt, I'm angry
I'm devastated, I'm lost
no, please don't give me that look.

I know I always seem happy,
I've always been cheerful and jolly.
but people rarely see what's hidden,
they do not know what is true and what I'm faking.

I just wish they can see, beyond fake smiles and stupid lies and the thin sheath of a mask that I call me.
