Smiling Away

Smiling away so no one will say are you okay Smiling away to hide my true feelings. feeling trapped running when there is no escape. Smiling away, to fool myself into thinking I’m fine There is no escape I’m trapped in a cage underwater where no one can find me and no one can hear me scream Smiling away to hide my pain feeling trapped running into walls in this maze of life. Smiling away i cry i'm in pain my heart is screaming doesn't anyone realize what is happening? cant they see what is happening to me its eating me up controlling my life doesn’t anyone care? They don’t realize what goes on in my head. I’m trapped in a cage Underwater where no one can find me and no one can hear me scream they don’t realize I’m dying i keep smiling away.
