Fake a smile

Do you ever get that feeling when the world a bit too much?
when you feel like you are drowning, but you don't act like such.
you pretend that you're alright, that everything is fine,
you pretend that you are happy and for the world you fake a smile.
you look up to those faces, judging your every move, looking at you whispering and you say you're okay with what they do.
So you keep on pretending, chat your time away.
you look up at your friends and family and say that you're okay.
So you continue with your work and school, throw out a few more lies.
And all throughout your life, you keep on that fake smile.
