fake
By eternal despair
nothing is what it seems
this smile only a mask of my true feelings
the illusion that im happy
makes everyone else feel better
sometimes i really am enjoyed
then the feelings slips away
and the mask goes back on
i feel fake
when i start to write the pain returns
uncovered from deep within
hidden from even myself
it will never go away
work keeps me sane
when all i want to do is cut out the pain
eternal despair means more then i thought
and everything feels eternally fake
who am i if my life is an illusion
am i sorrow, am i pain
or am i really this person i call fake
cause it feels so good
so who am i?
i am a shadow of a broken heart
masked by a glow of happiness
maybe its not as fake as it seems

I relate to this a bit too much. I think a lot of us do. You express it well but I wont sleep if I havent at least told you its not worth being fake, ever. People have to know you to truly love you and love is the world. -Glass

I must admit there are times when I feel like this too. I hide myself from others rather well if I try. I liked this read
