Of course I am fine,

Location

Of course I am fine, why do you ask?

Oh do not mind this, it is just my mask.

Always plastered with a smile with no woe nor a care.

I feel as if I am alone in this world, it is something I cannot bare. 

Everyone around me just smiles and waves, But we all know they are being fake, 

I know I am being betrayed.

You think you know someone from all the secrets that you have told,

But you find out many months later that their soul is just cold.

Stabbed two inches in the back, how could I not see?

That in the end; it'll only be just me. 

You are alone in this world, that is something you must face.

Open up your arms, this is something you must embrace.

I feel as if my name gets tossed around like I am some kind of joke.

They start laughing at this girl, someone they think that they know.

But in reality, you do not know what has happened in her life.

Stop judging her. What is wrong with you?

It is like being stabbed in the back with a knife.

Even though there may be people in the world who do care,

They cannot be trusted, you must be aware.

Do not let them fool you, for it is only a game.

They will trick you with their words; they will put nonsense in your brain. 

When you spend endless nights just thinking in your room,

Wondering what will happen next, what you could only assume.

But see that is what gets the best of us,

When we think meaningless thoughts.

It puts us in a dark place, something we cannot cut across.

But that is the reason why I wear this mask. 

So hopefully no one will see, 

I want them to know that their words will not hurt me.
