Everyone thinks i'm jokin'
they don't see i'm actually broken
but i guess its my fault
because normally i make light of what i've been dealt.
i don't want people to think i'm pathetic
so i act like its all for the aesthetic
i purposely make it all a game
by always replying "same"
in school i fake a smile
but in reality i haven't been happy for a while
i used to be cheery and bright
now i just never feel right
when someone says "you look sad"
i just tell them "oh my day was just bad"
lying almost always works
people just think i have a lot of quirks
but really i have a mental illness
and just recently i've begun to accept this.
