Do you see me for who I am? Or do you see my façade? The happy face I put on for everyone. I act, I smile, My façade is perfect..

I smile, I joke but it is all fake. I am never happy unless I am near you, then I am truly happy, other times it is just an act.

An act, they say “fake it till you make it”. If I fake it enough I will believe this lie. A lie I created to hide my pain for the world that gave it to me, my pain is my weakness I must never let the world see.

I smile, I joke but it is all fake. I am never happy unless I am near you, then I am truly happy, other times it is just an act.
See past my façade, my fake face and emotions, see me for me. Do you like what you see? Or should I just smile, joke, and fake it till I make you see how I Truly do hurt?
Yes I hurt
I hurt!
I hurt!
