Feign

Everyday at school I feign how I feel
No one notices how I am inside
All I do is put on a smile with pride
I try to sit in the desk and just deal,
My feelings stay inside and are concealed.
I try to look happy on the outside,
Even though all I want to do is hide.
I feel as if my heart is made of steel.

I walk through the hallways just like a ghost,
But when a friend passes I wave, perfect.
Once they have passed I go back and pout,
Both of my legs walk onward and just coast.
More days have passed but no one detects,
I wonder if they would if I cried out.
