FAKE SMILE
shes afraid
i can see it in the way she fidgets with her hair
the way she looks back and forth
its like a kitten afraid to purr
around her “friends” shes a complete stranger
she cant stand them
yet she thinks shed be nothing without them
she knows they talk behind her back
but shes not strong enough to utter a single syllable
so she wears a fake smile
shes insecure
i can see it in the way she moves
her face is always motionless
its like theres a brick wall in her nervous system
i know she hears the voices
shes wounded from the eyes that haunt her
but she goes on perfectly normal with life
because she knows she has to stay alive
for the day she can find true happiness
until then she has to live in a cruel world
so she wears a fake smile
shes hurt
i can see it in the way she tries to hide the bruises
the way she keeps pulling on her clothes
its like a robber trying to conceal money
a mom stashing away gummy bears from her kids
shes trying hard to hold back her tears
she goes to sleep praying for a better day
even a brief moment of sunlight
would be enough to bring her joy
but she knows the wait will be worth it
so she wears a fake smile

- I really like this. Especially the first two lines of every stanza.
