Smile, Ignore, Pretend

Can you just smile?
I haven't seen it in a while.
You know I love your happiness,
So please ignore my sadness.
Just cover my emotions with a tile. 

So what if I'm unhappy?
So what if I feel crappy?
I feel happier from you.
Imagine I'm yellow and not blue.
Pretend I'm fine.

I don't want any pity.
Just say that I'm witty,
And that I'm fine.
Pretend my heart is mine.
Either way there's not much to see.

I would rather you grin,
Than think of me commiting a sin.
Ignore my actions,
Make my happiness the bigger number in the fractions,
And let me help you win.

You know how I am,
Part sea and ram,
And how I pretend,
And have a smile often attend,
A conversation I cram. 

I'm sorry I hurt you,
But I would rather say what's true.
I am insecure,
And I'm never sure,
But I do want to stop being blue.

Just remember and know,
That I will never go,
Because I care for you,
And you know it's not new.
I won't leave unless you say so.

I'm fine.
My heart is "mine."
It's soaked in magma,
Wrapped in my bra.
I'm just preserving myself as with brine.
