Shattered

I smile my broken smile.

Everybody thinks it's real.

I smile my torn smile.

I just want my wounds to heal.

I laugh my strained laugh.

Everybody thinks I'm okay.

I laugh my forced laugh.

I just want my pain to go away.

I can't see.

The room is spinning.

Good job society.

You're winning.

Why me?

I think each night.

Why me?

As I hold myself tight.

Because if I don't,

I will crumble away.

Like dust in the wind.

And no one will notice, 

That I'm gone. 

Was I really there all along?
