Laughs and Smiles

Laughs and Smiles

I hear the screams, that torments my mind.

The feeling of regret, as the clock ticks, yet

I laugh and smile.

I stare at my quivering hands, as emotions take over.

The pain in my chest, almost unbearable, yet

I laugh and smile.

My eyes no longer seeing the present, now stuck wondering of the future.

The pain almost noticeable, but I stay quite, yet

I laugh and smile.

Wearing the mask of society, forever alone.

My identity a secret, my tears never shown, yet

I laugh and smile.

My heart in my throat.

Dreams I once dreamt, are now in the stars; somewhere I can never reach, yet

I laugh and smile.

Always laughing and smiling.
