My Smile

My smile is fake,  my eyes show the truth
They show the hate  I feel for myself
I don't care if I'm alive,
Or dead to this world
I don't have any drive
My hair is not curled

My smile is broken,  my eyes they weep
I often cry myself to sleep
No one cares who I am,
Or who I may be
But I am still me,
Who may that me?

My smile is gone,  my eyes became blank
My soul that once flew,
Now has just sank
Sank in the river I filled with my tears
No matter how I tried,
I couldn't get past those years
Years of happiness,  turned into dread
All of these feelings I keep locked in my head

My smile is fake,  I draw it everyday
It fades and fades,
As I go through the day
My memories are tainted,
Stained with decay
As I rip them to pieces,
Each and everyday.
