» Poem: fading smile
fading smile

people are starting to notice
that my smile is fading
they're starting to wonder
what's going through my head
they're seeing right through me
they're noticing that
my happiness is a lie; a fake
they thought they knew me
but they're realizing they dont
they dont know
why i cry
or that i even do cry
i never cry infront of them
i got to pretend to be strong
they dont know
that i'm hurting inside
when i see their smiling face
--it hurts me
because their smile isn't fake
when i see them with their loved one
--it hurts me
because i dont have and never did
have someone that loved me
they dont know
that i'm slowly dying
slowly fading away
its so hard to put a fake smile
on every morning when i wake up
its hard to wear
i'm starting to get tired
of living this lie
they all think i have a wonderful life
but they dont know
they have no clue how i feel
my smile is fading
and they can tell
i dont know if i want them to know why
because they'll probably just laugh
so i guess i'll keep
wearing this fake smile
no matter how much it hurts
