How?

You constantly tell me I can't lie
But I've been lying my whole life.
How could you not see through the fake smiles?
The fake laughs?!
How could you not hear the lie in my voice when I told you I had fun?
Or that I was okay?!
That I was fine?!
How could you not see me changing right before your eyes?!
I'm not who you think I am nor who you thought I was!
How could you not see the shadows that swam in my eyes?
The darkness that clouded my mind and every thought?
How can you not se me struggling?!
