Smile

I smile
Pretend it's alright
"How are you?"
"Good." I say and my lips force a smile
Inside I'm screaming
No one hears (No one cares)
I'm drowning in these feelings (Of worthlessness)
Outside my face is shining
But my eyes are dull
Distant and lonely like a street light in the fog
I'm so alone
My fears are consuming me
I want to reach out to you
Tell you to grab me before it's too late
I'm falling
And I can't seem to catch myself
I fall (into darkness)
I can't breathe
I'm suffocating
I feel as though I will die any moment
"What's wrong?" you ask
"Nothing" I say And conceal the truth behind an insincere smile
