"Falling apart"

I'm not actually happy.

I think I'm just faking,

the littlest things can make me start breaking.

Because when something finds its way

through a crack in my mask

everything seems to fall apart in a flash.

The trigger isn't always the same,

sometimes it's a thought,

or the sound of a name.

Maybe a smell that reminds me of when I was young

one I cant place, though it's on the tip of my tongue.

But no matter what it is

it manages to break me down,

it makes me remember why I dont wear a crown.

most days I don't even know why I'm sad

it's like I'm a whole different me,

one that never feels bad.

But when I do remember.

Its always the same,

Im left feeling lost,

like my life is a game.
