It's not easy
to pretend
to be okay
when you're not.
To hold yourself together
when it would be easier to just fall apart.
To pretend
to smile
and act happy.
When deep down inside
all you really want to do
is cry.
But who would hear?
And
who
would care?
No one can see
past your mask
of lies.
Because in the end,
nobody cares.
And sometimes
you wonder
if anyone would try
to stop you
if you commit suicide.
After all,
no one can see
past your mask of lies.
But it hurts
to smile
when you're broken inside.
