FakeSmiles

A Poem by Estelle
"

This smile is starting to flake around the edges, and I'm starting to fear who I am.

"

I laugh at everything and anything

Because if I don't I'll fall down

And won't be able to pick myself up

I smile at everyone

'Cause if I don't

I'll drown in misery and no one

Will be able to help me swim

I keep my face cheery

'Cause if I don't

You'll all see how broken I am inside

I pretend that nothing can hurt me

But really it does

It kills me….slowly painfully, maliciously

Weighing down my heart

I try to keep my head up

So when I'm through I can put it down

I keep the smile on my face

'Cause when I don't I know I'll die

I never let anyone see the turmoil inside of me

'Cause it'd be too much for them to bear

But sometimes in the dark comfort of night

I wish that some one would hold me

Catch me when I fall

And think that the pitiful part of me

Isn't there at all and I'm beautiful on the inside

Like a rose bud just beginning to blossom

But deep down inside

Where that truthful evil voice looms

I know that nobody can at all

So I pretend to smile all the while

Crying on the inside
