Happy
I'm happy, I feel happy!
My brain is jelly, and my heart is sappy.
I'm just happy as you can see!
That's all everyone wants me to be.
Is it really possible though?
If I tell myself I'm happy, will it just flow?
I FEEL HAPPY, I FEEL HAPPY! NO I DON'T!
I only feel sadness in my bones
This smile is but a mask.. it..
It's about as fake as plastic..
I wonder, is it as easy to fake as it is to actually feel?
Not just the rare moments of happiness, NO, I mean the real deal!
I'm not happy, I'm not happy.. and that's okay.
It's really always been this way.

I like this... I really feel the frustration of everyone around wanting you to be happy... But you can't do anything about it so you just pretend so they'll stop bugging you. That's been my experience at least.
Nice write :)
