That smile
Reveals
Nothing
Hides betrayals
Smothers screams
Fake it
That laugh
Forced
Unnatural
Chokes out
Mirthlessly abounds
Fake it
That happiness
False
Destroyed
No joy
Emotions clogged
Fake it
No one will know
No one delves deep
Reality
Loneliness
Resentment
Burdened
Confused
Hide them
Scour them
Wash them away
Rinse
Repeat
It’s all the same
Words fail
Hope dies
Pain is bearable
Just remember
To fake it
