Plastic
Plastic smile
On a plastic face
No one can tell
But you know it's fake
Enveloped by covers
No one will see
This waste of space
I have come to be
No more fun
No more games
No more lies
No more pain
I'll just close my eyes
And make you all go away
On a plastic face
No one can tell
But you know it's fake
Enveloped by covers
No one will see
This waste of space
I have come to be
No more fun
No more games
No more lies
No more pain
I'll just close my eyes
And make you all go away

Damn... That was poignant. I know the feeling you describe... Not something pleasant. Feeling like you have to to safeguard your true feelings can be quite exhausting. Reminds me of a haiku I wrote the other day. I will share it with you here:
she hangs her head down
painting smiles upon her frown
like a circus clown
she hangs her head down
painting smiles upon her frown
like a circus clown

This is so good. I love how your poems are all so short, but carry so much meaning. “This waste of space I have come to be”... I know that feeling. Stay strong!

Thanks for reading, you do a wonderful job at describing a hard subject yourself.

You are a phenomenal writer with the ability to turn emotions into words. A rare gift. I know it is a very dark subject, but with people like you expressing the ugly truth behind the pretty little masks we wear, the world seems a little less lonely.
