"I'm fine."
"My day was alright."
"Ya I'm good, just tired."
I smile and laugh,
I try and choke back the tears.
I don't want you to see...
don't want you to see
the dark side of me.
My brokenness
The sadness coursing through my veins
I want you to think I'm happy.
I jump
I sing
I act a little extra weird.
You'll never see me
when I'm really broken down.
All you see is my jagged smile
All you hear is my forced laugh
All you touch is my outer layer
