Why are people so accepting of the smile After all the tears they just saw be shed? It's exhausting playing the happy, smiling girl When all the while, inside I'm dead Why don't they notice my tired eyes, Or the way my legs always seem to shake? I'm sick of pretending that I'm perfectly fine For everyone elses sake
Because no one really wants to believe someone close to them feels pain, so they take whatever signs of normality and happiness theyre given, and ignore the truth. I dont blame those people, I just wish when I say im okay I could mean it someday..
