my fake smile

My smile is fake my heart has a thick shell with me time has no true tell,

My depression is a battle that can be won and lost depending on how hard I fell,

I wonder when my life suddenly turned to hell,

I put on a smile and hope nobody can see the tears falling behind the mask of happiness I wear so well,

Darkness whispers in my ear and says the price of happiness is my soul if I'm willing to sell,

But I'm not so the agony and despair eat me alive till there is nothing left but a cold body on the floor,

Where am I the world would never know I'm not here nor there I'm somewhere unreal somewhere I've never seen before,

I want love but it's hard to find when your love is behind glass walls feeling so confined,

A husband is what I want to be but honestly, I won't see past twenty-eight,

I'll slip away quietly so nobody notices,

Not like anyone cares to see it anyways,

My heart is too broken and my mind is too fogged for someone to say they love me and let me fall.....
