I'm Smiling while Dying

26 7 6
                                    

I'm laughing
while I'm crying
I'm smiling,
yet I'm dying

I'm fine,
I always said
I'm lying,
My heart bled

I held my tongue
When they pushed me around
Saying nothing
Silently holding my ground

I'm okay,
I always say
You shouldn't worry about me,
It's not like I matter to anyone,
Not even to me

Mom said to make friends
Daddy said to be strong
They said it'd be easy,
yet how can I believe that,

When the world's already proven them wrong
