Broken

I wonder if they know I'm broken in the inside. What they see on the outside is a smile and bright eyes. But none of them have taken a chance to discover the dysfunctional system that lives inside. They're so blinded by my mask, they can't realize I'm already dead inside. Every morning I wake up and twist the invisible key embedded into my hack in hopes my time won't run out during the day. No one has ever asked me if I felt alive, but if they did I'd say I died a long time ago. I've tried finding the cure like the ones in princess movies where the beautiful girl is awaken by a passionate kiss from a handsome prince and they live happily ever after... but I'm no princess. I'm a toy soldier living on emotionless minutes filled with envy and hate. I'm a broken doll that collects dust in the back of the closet. But I can keep pretending. I can pretend that nothing is wrong and continue smiling the way I rehearsed it. I can pretend that I glued the pieces together and pretend I'm still whole. And you... you can continue to ignore that I'm broken.
