Hollow Smiles
You think you understand me
But the truth you do not see
You think I'm full of happiness
But intact I'm just full of stress
You ask me if I'm okay
"I'm feeling great today"
LIE, deep inside I'm holding pains
My heart and soul covered in stains
I put on my masquerade
A smile of a soul that fades
No one knows what lurks beneath
You have no clue for what I sheathe
My soul cauterized inside out
My heart seeping from all my doubt
I put a smile for which you ask
My disturbed hollow mask
