I am the one who always has a smile on their face

I wonder would they be able to see past my smile?

I hear laughter and joy around me

I see people hugging

I want that to be me 

I am who I am


I pretend that I'm not affected by this

I feel my happiness chipping away like an old broken cup

I touch the wet spots on my jeans

I worry that people are going to notice

I cry knowing that they don't care

I am who I am


I understand that I have to try much harder

I say "Please, notice me"

I dream that I'm that person being hugged

I try to put the smile back on

But soon it's replace with a frown

I am who I am

Right?
