Fake Smile and Laugh


I seem happy, right?
 You see no cuts on my wrists.
 Only the smile on my lips.
 You hear me laugh, you see me smile.


 But did you take time to look in my eyes?
 Did you see the emptiness, the darkness?
 Did you check my lips?
 Darling, if you only opened your eyes, you could see.
 I am dying inside...
