After Death

Courage

I want you to know
That the smile you see
On me in the hallways
Is fake.
I want you to know
That even when I'm
Happy for once, I'm not
Fully there.
I want you to know
That sometimes, I
Believe I am strong but
I'm not.
I want you to know
That I think I can
Win this fight but
I won't.
I want you to know
That at night, I am
The one who ruins
Me most.
I want you to know
That I might seem
Okay, but do not
Believe it.
I want you to know
That after death, life's
Not much better than it
Was before.
