(This poem is not about love and heart break ,sorry if you were hoping it was, this poem is more about depression and here it is)

I smile so that no-one notices the pain in my eyes

I smile because I hope someone will notice the pain I try to hide

I smile to try to convince myself that I'm happy even when I'm far from it

I smile to hide the dark storm of sadness inside

I smile because I know no-one wants to hear about the pain

I smile because I'm to weak to admit I'm not okay

I smile because I'm afraid of what might happen if I don't

I smile because none will suspect that a smiling girl is dying inside, because of the pain that's killing her

I smile because I know I'm not happy and others don't

I smile because I don't want them to pity me or my life

I smile to hide the fact that I want to die to end it all
