I wonder why your cheeks don't hurt,
Even after all those hours of faking that pretty smile.
I wonder why your eyes don't ache
Even after crying recklessly the whole night.
I wonder how your throat is still okay,
Even after all that screaming in the locked room, out of fright.
  I really wonder how you are keeping up,
Even when the tremendous pain has been breaking you all this while.

Cause maybe you have become so numb that you feel alright even when you aren't alright.
