Happy..?


I put on a happy face

Every single day, 24/7

Not for myself, it’s never for myself

For my friends and family

My friends deserve the world

They don’t deserve to see me, saddened by everything

Every single day, 24/7

My family is already struggling

From death to financial problems

They don’t need to worry about me,

Or my irrelevant problems that I always deal with

Every

Single

Day

24/7.
