Sometimes

you smile

a fake one

of course.

you want someone

to notice

your pain

you're off course.

you cry

every night

wondering why

you're alive.

you question

and decipher

think the whole world

is a big lie.

they tell you

you're over reacting

you're naive

over thinking.

you can't find a reason

to be happy

you're sinking.

slowly drowning

in your own mind

struggling to find

hope inside.

anxiety takes over

you're afraid of the world

so you pause your feelings

on an 'empty' mode.

all your energy

is drained

your motivation

taken away

people think you're lazy

fuck people

you don't seem to care

what they think

anymore.

you seem to be falling

yet everyone around you

is still smiling.

you're not though

you're falling deeper

deeper

deeper

but you'll be okay

that's what everyone

wants you to say.

so you'll do what you do best

keep up your performance

don't let them down

but you know that

they'll judge you anyway.

that's just the way people are today.
