"why do you act so happy if you're so sad"
ill tell you why
when i'm sad
i'm told that nobody wants to be around me
but if i'm "happy"
then people do want to be around me
however if people find out i was actually sad,
while looking "happy"
i would get in trouble for hiding my emotions
so i feel like i don't have a choice anymore
i just have to hide
and store it
