I'm Perfectly Well

A piece of me has been broken away,
As the pain builds deep in my chest.

I hide my tears and tell you all is okay,
But my aching heart just wont rest.

-

The smile on my face is far from real,
Though you believe it every time.

All those times you ask how I feel,
So you dont worry I say I'm fine.

-

What's deep inside so that you dont see,
I keep locked away safe and sound,

That locked away part is a piece of me,
And it dont like to be kept bound.

-

It seeks out release in the form of pain,
Whether it be from beating or a blade.

Leaving a mark that I'll have to explain,
Because it takes so long for it to fade.

-

But don't worry for me I'm perfectly well,
I'll pull myself together once again.

I'll show you my smile as if I never fell,
And hide my wounds as they mend.
