Faking a Smile

A smile is a mask

A mask for our guilt

Pain

Regret

Hurt

Broken

Sadness

And most of all, our last thread of life

People don't notice that we are hanging on by a single thin line of cotton

That all we want to do is give up

That no matter how hard we try, we just can't find joy

Happiness

Care

Generosity

Honesty

And most of all, love.

No matter how hard we look, it never is revealed to the darkness hidden here

Eventually we turn pathetic

Eventually we give up

Faking a smile can end a life
