The truth is I'm scared,
But what is there to fear?
This is everything I've wanted.
So, then why am I in tears?

As grim as it may not seem,
Can't you see,
That I'm happy as can be,
Smiling through my teeth...

Don't I look happy,
Going through the day,
Reading books that are sappy,
With a smile that always stays...

Can't you see; the strain,
My gritting teeth,
How my smile stays the same,
And how I stare at my feet...

I may seem as happy as can be,
And you may be fooled,
I guess the real me you don't really see,
If you only see my hiding tool...

To keep the questions away,
And the curious eyes off me,
To keep these suspicions at bay,
So they never truly see...

*...my broken mind that is lonely...
I'm so good at acting happy that sometimes I almost convince myself...

Tonight, I force a smile

and pretend nothing happened

I imagine that things are alright

even if they aren’t...

I spent the last few days

in sadness and in tears

Tonight, I force a smile

hoping happiness is real
And I know it will be; just wait and see. :)
