Fake Smile

They ask me what's wrong?

I say I'm OK.

I don't want them to worry.

Tomorrow is another day,

Happy it may not be.

I'll wear a fake smile.

They will know something is wrong,

If they don't see me in a while.

Maybe, someone, I should tell,

I'm just hurt.

I'm not doing well.

I start to act like old me.

Everything seems fine

Happy people---happy they see.

They care what I look like from my outside.

So I wear this smile all the time.

I do know, my ugliness needs to hide.

But I am unable to so I pretend I do not care.

They say they like me for me.

But I know the truth.

I'll stay happy as I could be.

Friends are temporary, changes will take a while.

But time is mighty, it will do wonders.

Till then I will never let them this is a fake smile.
