Motions


Going through the motions

acting like I'm happy

smiling when people are around

laughing like I have nothing going on

going hrough motions 

trying to ignore the pain 

fighting back the tears

my heart is breaking 

just going through the motions

blocking out everything 

telling myself I'll just deal with it later

ignore it, surpress it

it means nothing 

breaking my heart 

putting up walls to keep everyone out

going through the motions no one really even there

just do this and do that 

things get better eventually 

just don't think about it 

and keep on going 

going through the emotions
