I walk in and smile.
My heart still aches.
I greet my friends cheerfully,
MY soul is screaming.
I go on acting,
though I wish I could be honest.
So tired of Pretending,
Never sure how to change.
Everywhere I look it reminds me.
Why can't I escape?
All I want is to be happy,
So why am I still a wreck?
as i laugh, I know it's fake.
As I cry, I know it's true.
What ever happened to the person I knew?

I have pretended I'm fine for four long years, I can't seem to break down that wall now that I want to.
