When you look at me I seem fine. you tell me your day, I tell you mine. While at school that's how I act. Smile on my face. Knives in my back. I'm not fine but I won't tell you that. I'll keep pretending when I'm with you. So I don't put stress on you. I can't hurt you like you have me. You don't see them I hide them under my pack, pushing them farther into my back. as I tread slowly, weights of incurties slowing me down. But I still smile toward you, so I don't want to hurt you. And, that my dear is my biggest fear.
