I hate how they treat me
and who they want me to be
When deep down I'm not
the girl with never ending happiness
they don't expect me to be sad
but I am, it makes them mad
then I spiral even further
into my cycle of pain and loneliness
I'm not accepted for who I am
more so the person I pretend to be
the one with forced chuckles
and painted smiles
the one with sparkling hues
and half hearted grins
that's not the person I am
but the one that others accept
