Anything

Fake a smile
Say it’s alright
As I die a little more inside
But you won’t see my tears
They are cried on the inside
For I am too strong
To show such weakness

I hate myself
More than anything else
Because the person you see
Is not who I am
I’m depressed
Disturbed
And broken hearted
Too quick to let you in
Not quick enough to let you out

I’m lying to you
More than I’m lying to myself
Force a laugh
For a little while
Anything to make you smile
Anything to hide the real me
The tortured soul
Unloved
Unhappy
