Autumn

Facade

Poem

She feels like she can never be herself,

She always has to force a smile on her lips,

She feels like she is falling apart inside,

with no one to reach out to.

Everyone runs away,

if she tries to tell them how she feels.

The laughter that comes out of her mouth is all too

familiar to others,

But her happiness and laughter is all for show.

No one’s heard a real sincere laugh from her since

her life fell in shambles.

She wishes she could just be herself,

but she knows people won’t accept her.

Being fake while dying inside,

Seems to be the only answer.
