Just a Broken Shell

You ask if I'm ok,

I say I'm fine.

You say you're glad to hear it

And continue on with your life,

Leaving me behind to rot

In this hell called life.

You never really cared,

So why do you pretend?

No one has ever really cared,

And no one ever will.

So I go on every day

Telling people what they want to hear,

Giving them that smile they want to see.

But behind the smiles,

Beneath the jokes,

I'm just a broken shell

Lost and alone

In a world where no one really cares.
