I'm Fine

I Smile
and I laugh
through my mask
and I tell them
I'm fine

I pretend it's OK
I act like nothing's wrong
That I'm a happy person
Even though I want to die

They tell me they want to help
But I tell them don't NEED help
Though,
I know that is a lie
and I try not to cry

I tell myself that if I keep lying about it
It'll come true
Though I know that's a lie too.

I'm NOT fine
I'm NOT happy
I'm NOT who I seem to be

But
I'm NOT lying when I say
Telling more lies,
Is better than accepting the truth.
