#98 (Punished.)

I have to pretend again,
Put on a smile,
Just so they don't worry about me.

My existence is a fucking lie.

My home life isn't bad.
I've never been bullied,
Merely teased.
My friends are great.
I have someone I love.

I'm just surrounded by constant confusion.
My head is screwed up,
And I don't know why.

I don't have a reason to feel like this,
Yet this is how I feel.

I don't want to lie to you.

I've got half an hour,
To fix myself,
To be OK for two hours,
To lie again,
For two hours.

I have to lie again,
Because the world is taking,
What I believed was right,
What I believed was a good deed,
And punishing it.

"No good deed goes unpunished."
I live in a world,
Where that's the only truth I know.
