Not What They Seem

It's quite easy to fake a smile.

Pretend every day isn't a trial.

Wake up each day in a world of gray,

Pretend you mean what you say.


"I'm fine." Is the most common lie.

Don't you ever wonder why?

When I say I'm fine it means I'm lying.

Outside I'm smiling, inside I'm crying.


Often people do not choose to die.

But sometimes, they say goodbye.

It's a tragic farce that we must go by.

Sometimes I think it would be better to die.
