I am depressed, someone who fakes happiness
I wonder what it feels like to not be depressed
I hear my crying
I see my tears
I want to be okay
I am depressed, someone who fakes happiness

I pretend to be happy
I feel my hands shaking
I touch my legs as I am curled up in a ball, while my knees touch my chest
I worry that I can’t stop crying
I cry for no reason
I am depressed, someone who fakes happiness

I understand that I shouldn’t be
I say that I’m okay when I’m not
I dream to be okay
I try to be happy
I hope that I can be okay
I am depressed, someone who fakes happiness
