Fake Smiles
My mind is blank, now
I’m not thinking
I’m not really breathing
Not really living
I’m numb
But yet I hurt so much
I say I don’t know why
But I do
I know that I feel trapped
Like I’ll never amount to anything
That I’ll never measure up to who everyone expects me to be
I hurt
I don’t let it show
People can’t see what’s going on inside my head
Put a brave face on
Smile for the crowds
I let it fall for a second
The smile everyone is so used to
They asked what’s wrong
I say I’m fine
I
Am
Not
Fine
