down hearted [completed]

;72;

You can say it's okay. That you'll be alright. That you're going to get through it. In your head that is.

You can fake the smiles and laughter. You can pretend you're happy. You can lie that everything is fine and that you're more than okay.

But underneath it all you can be crying and your pain grows. It fills you up and weighs you down. It hurts you more than anything else. 'Cause you know fake happiness is the worst sadness. And you're trying so damn hard to keep going and to smile and not trip over your own self. There is the you that you are. And the you that you have created to please others.

You are suffering, you know it. And it is most definitely eating you alive.
