Sitting in your seat, waiting for class to begin - with a mask over your face.
You smile.

Listening into everyone's conversations, staring at the wall.
You smile.

Overhearing people chatting about their weekend, full of movies and dates.
You smile.

Standing for the teacher as they enter the room, passing you a meaningless glance.
You still smile.

~

Watching your friends talk about the latest trends, as you sit in the background laughing along.
You smile.

Biting into your sandwich as your stomach crumples in pain.
You smile.

Placing the half-eaten sandwich into your lunchbox, getting onto your slightly unsteady feet.
You smile.

Stating that you will return soon, receiving a half-hearted look from the people around you.
You still smile.

~

Walking into the bathroom, closing the door behind you.
You smile.

Looking away from the strangers who gave you strange glances, whispering to each other.
You smile.

Waiting for them to leave, staring at your shaking feet.
You smile.

Hearing the door close as you turn to face your reflection.
You smile.

Tears forming in your eyes as you hold onto the sink for dear life.
You smile.

Looking into the mirror to see a shell of a person you barely even knew.
You smile.

Seeing a mask that you had worn for so long cracking at the seams.
You smile.

...

And yet you're still not happy.
