FakeSmilesA Poem by EstelleThis 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 © 2014 Estelle |
