Fabricated façade

I am smiling.
I am laughing.
I am playing.
I am talking.
I am waiving.

I am not.

That face those looks those actions.
It's a lie........a lie.........a lie. all of this is a lie
Why can't you see, how can't you tell that this is just a mask.
oh because you thought it's my real face because it's covered in flesh and blood.

I want to rip it of, take that face and throw it in the trash.

That is not me, that is not who I really am.

That person in the mirror is fake.

I........have no face.

I pretend to smile so I bring joy to others, to hide my pain, to be given a fake smile from under a mask from another faceless person.

To compensate those feelings I don't understand no more.

But mainly I am desperate for a safe haven.

Not all those who smile are happy, nor all who cry are sad.
