I think that when most people see me, they see all smiles and hear laughter.

My eyes get all squinty when I smile and sometimes, my cheeks literally start twitching.
My sides will hurt from laughing too much, which is expected.
I laugh at everything.

But it's a hollow laugh
And my eyes will never water from it.
My cheeks will always retain their original form

The second you leave the smile will fall
Shattering into a million pieces that you can't see.

They hurt when you step on them.
I just can't come up with any names lately.
