nothing breaks my heart like
never knowing what
someone is going through
because a forced smile
is the only thing
they are showing you.
never knowing when
someone is falling apart,
because of all the
scars and bandages
resting on their heart.
never knowing the
thoughts running
through their head
the kind of thoughts
that keeps them wishing
they were dead
so tell me,
when did the world
decide to hide their
broken souls and fragile hearts
behind all the things
that keep them
from falling apart
a fake smile
a forced laugh
might have fooled everyone
but it sure didn't fool you,
because at the end of the day,
you still have no escape
from the things you are going through.
